Florian Wirtz is an upcoming football superstar.
A farewell to Leverkusen and a move to a world club is considered certain - but not in the near future.
Leverkusen – Munich, Madrid, Barcelona, London, Manchester, Paris – Florian Wirtz will one day be able to choose which top club he wants to play for.
At least that is the tendency among all experts in the football industry.
The performances of the Leverkusen shooting star cement this claim a little more every week.
Change in the summer or stay at Leverkusen?
Wirtz decision made
However, a Bayer farewell is unlikely to happen so quickly.
His father and advisor Hans Wirtz was now surprisingly clear to the
Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger
: “Florian has a contract in Leverkusen until 2027.
That will also roughly be the amount of time he will spend in Leverkusen.”
He added: “There is no answer to what happens when.
We should wait for the next two years and then we will see where the path leads.”
Florian Wirtz apparently won't be playing for FC Bayern any time soon.

Wirtz's father praises Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso
A decisive factor for the planned stay seems to be the highly sought after coach.
Hans Wirtz emphasized: “Florian is very lucky with Xabi Alonso, who has many qualities.” He further praised the coach: “He treats the entire team brilliantly.
This is the right coach at the right time.”
Hans Wirtz sees his 20-year-old son still in a phase of development.
He explained: “It will take some time until he is able to achieve these performances consistently.
Only then can we talk about superlatives and higher qualifications.” It is reported that FC Bayern Munich as well as Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are showing interest in the offensive player.
Recently, however, there have been signs that Bayern will not be getting into Wirtz poker for the time being.

Wirtz anger over substitution in DFB game in Cologne
Wirtz senior, who made it clear weeks ago that his son would play in Leverkusen for a longer period of time, also criticized former national coach Hansi Flick in the interview.
He replaced Wirtz in the international match against Belgium in March 2023 after just half an hour and in his hometown of Cologne, of all places.
Hans Wirtz said: “I couldn't understand the substitution, especially in this place at this time.
I wouldn't have done that as a national coach.
But Hansi Flick had a different opinion.
It was a long time ago and things have changed for the better since then.” Wirtz plays regularly under Flick’s successor, Julian Nagelsmann.
