Wirtz, who has contributed to nine assists and six goals for Leverkusen in all competitions so far this season, will look to increase those figures on Thursday when Xabi Alonso’s squad travels to Qarabag for a Europa League match.

As per his father, the youngster’s primary objective is to achieve success with Leverkusen prior to contemplating a possible summer transfer.

“Becoming the German champion with Leverkusen is the primary objective,” his advisor and fellow Leverkusen player Hans-Joachim Wirtz told Sport Bild.

Wirtz is not about to force his way out of the club where he made his professional début after spending a decade in the youth academy of Koln. He is contractually bound until 2027.

Upon his eventual departure from Leverkusen, he will exclusively join a club that will provide him with a significant advancement opportunity—one that he considers capable of contending for the Champions League.

Additionally, that party must have deep pockets. The playmaker has been offered a price of more than €100 million by Leverkusen.

“Flo is becoming an increasing amount of mature.” He is a difference-making player. “What he is capable of doing is natural,” previously explained head coach Alonso, whose own transfer rumors have connected him with Real Madrid and could assist in luring Wirtz to the Bernabeu.
