Wirtz showcased his talent with a brace and an assist in Leverkusen's recent 4-0 victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals. His contributions have been crucial in Leverkusen's advancement to the Europa League quarter-finals and their commanding 13-point lead in the Bundesliga.
Despite interest from top clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool, it seems Wirtz is staying put at Leverkusen for at least another season, as reported by HITC. This news comes as a disappointment for the Premier League giants, as Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Real Madrid have also been linked with the talented youngster.
Wirtz's decision to stay is bolstered by Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso's commitment to continue in his role for the upcoming season. Leverkusen will likely prioritize retaining Wirtz, given his importance to the team and his contract running until June 2027.
Furthermore, Leverkusen is aiming to keep other key players like Jeremie Frimpong, Piero Hincapie, Exequiel Palacios, and Victor Boniface amidst reported interest from other clubs. With Leverkusen set to return to the Champions League next season, they're focused on maintaining their squad strength.
Their immediate attention, however, is on their upcoming match against Union Berlin, where a win could edge them closer to securing their first-ever Bundesliga title.
