The young playmaker is enjoying another fantastic campaign with his recent show-stopping performances a big reason for Xabi Alonso’s side leading the Bundesliga table.
And with the 20-year-old one of the continent’s most in-form players, interest from other clubs has inevitably begun to grow.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all have the midfielder on their shortlist with Barcelona and Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich also monitoring the 20-year-old’s situation.
A transfer in January has been ruled out though. Our sources do not expect Wirtz to leave Bayer Leverkusen until at least next summer. The Germans are also open to a sale and are hopeful a summer bidding war will see their eye-watering £105 million (€120 million) asking price met.
Since being promoted to Leverkusen’s senior first-team in 2020, Wirtz, who has three years left on his deal, has directly contributed to 68 goals in 119 games in all competitions.
