Florian Wirtz looks set to stay put at Bayer Leverkusen this summer despite heavy interest in his signature.
Fabrizio Romano reported on X (formerly Twitter) this morning that the Liverpool-linked (Fichajes via CaughtOffside) attacking midfielder is considered ‘untouchable’ in the upcoming window.
🪄 Florian Wirtz turns 21 today, super young and already couting 18 goals and 19 assists this season.
Wirtz’s gone through ACL injury in 2022 and reacted by winning Bundesliga title this year, fighting for two more titles.

Imagine Florian Wirtz at Liverpool?
The creative depth Liverpool would have at their disposal with the likes of the 21-year-old, Mo Salah and Alexis Mac Allister is positively drool-inspiring.
If he’s anywhere near Transfermarkt’s estimation of £94.1m in terms of asking price – a figure that will surely only rise come 2025 – you’d have to imagine it will be pretty prohibitive for most sides in Europe.
Certainly, in our view, we can’t see Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes sanctioning a fee well in excess of £100m.
What a talent you’d be getting in exchange for a potentially record-breaking fee, though!
We have DOM we have MacAllister looking at Koopmeiners have we forgot none of them are a natural no 6
