On September 21, according to UK media teamtalk, both Liverpool and Manchester City have shown a strong interest in Wirtz and hope to sign him, but currently, the frontrunner in the race to sign him is La Liga giant Real Madrid.
Notable journalist Christian Falk commented on Wirtz’s situation saying, “Wirtz has made it clear that he hopes to take the next step in his career in 2025. Wirtz’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in the summer of 2027, and the club has already prepared for this, setting a hefty transfer fee of 150 million euros for him. There are not many clubs that can afford this transfer fee, among which Liverpool and Manchester City are very interested in him, but the frontrunner to sign him is not a Premier League club, but Real Madrid.”
In recent years, Wirtz’s performance has been outstanding. In the 2023-24 season, he played 49 games for Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 18 goals and providing 20 assists, helping Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, as well as reaching the Europa League final. This season, Wirtz has continued his excellent form, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist for Bayer Leverkusen so far.
