While he may drift unnoticed between the lines on the pitch, Wirtz has been unable to escape the headlines during an early season transfer saga. The sought-after playmaker was initially thought to be subject of a three-way tussle between Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
The 22-year-old Wirtz has been repeatedly linked with various top clubs, but is now taking the next step in his career with the Reds. Wirtz moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 and developed into a world-class player there. In 2023/24, he won the double with Leverkusen.
