Officially German champions since last weekend, Bayer Leverkusen rode on their national title to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals yesterday. With their 2-0 victory in the first leg last week at home against West Ham, the Germans were content with a draw yesterday (1-1) in London. Obviously, with such a season, Bayer leaders expect to be in demand this summer. And in particular for Florian Wirtz, their German nugget.
In an interview with Radio Marca, general manager Fernando Carro spoke about his player’s price: “in the world of football, you can’t say that you never sell someone, but I wouldn’t sell Wirtz for less than 150 million euros”. However, it is unlikely that the player will leave Germany during the next transfer window. The club, which has already made sure to keep their coach Xabi Alonso, absolutely wants to keep Florian Wirtz next season. The 20-year-old also wants to stay at his current club according to German media.
