Wanted man! Florian Wirtz certain to leave Bayer Leverkusen eventually as Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd circle - but Bundesliga leaders want to keep him for one more season

The Bundesliga side have accepted that the attacking midfielder will definitely leave the club before long <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/bayer-leverkusens-florian-wirtz-und-der-fc-bayern-das-ist-der-stand/13017717/34836" target="_blank">Sky Sport</a> reports. However, Leverkusen hope that the 20-year-old, whose contract in Germany runs until 2027, will agree to stay until the summer of 2025, at least.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The German team may have a hard time convincing Wirtz to stay put for the time being, though, given the likes of Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in signing him. While Wirtz has not given the nod to any team at this point, Sky reports he would rather join the German giants before going abroad.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wirtz, who joined Leverkusen from Koln in 2020, has scored six goals and registered 10 assists in 18 games for a Leverkusen side currently top of the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso's team have taken 34 points from their first 12 matches in the German top flight, leaving them two points clear of reigning champions Bayern Munich.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Germany international has plenty of time to consider where he will end up when he decides to leave Leverkusen. In the meantime, his side will be in action on Thursday with a game against Hacken in the Europa League.
