Florian Wirtz will remain at Bayer Leverkusen for one more year as things currently stand, according to the player’s father and agent, Hans-Joachim Wirtz.
Beyond that point, an exit away from the Bundesliga outfit is understood to be ‘definitely planned’ for 2025.
Florian Plettenberg relayed the comments in question on X (formerly Twitter), additionally noting that the player would then ‘prefer’ a transfer to admirers Bayern Munich.
Hans-Joachim #Wirtz, father and agent of Florian Wirtz excl. at Sky:
„Currently, everything is geared towards Florian continuing to play in Leverkusen next season.“
As reported: Wirtz is likely to stay in Leverkusen next season. A transfer is definitely planned in 2025.
Whether the Bavarians can succeed in their ambitions of landing one of the most talented midfielders in Europe remains to be seen amid reported interest from Liverpool [TeamTalk].
With a contract not set to expire until 2025, you can absolutely expect Wirtz’s eventual asking price to be astronomical.
According to our sister site CaughtOffside back in November: “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.”
The fee would appear to be justified to a certain degree, given that the 20-year-old is already on a whopping 16 goal contributions in 19 games.

Statistically, the player stacks up well against the best in Europe’s top five leagues, registering in the 97th percentile, for instance, in shot-creating actions, according to FBref.
If Wirtz can maintain that form going into the rest of the season and, perhaps, the next – he’s going to be unaffordable for a considerable number of potential suitors.
