Wirtz was expected to continue in the Bundesliga next season, either with Leverkusen or Bayern Munich. However, a source revealed that Wirtz is interested in joining the Premier League, impressed by Arne Slot’s plans.

I hope it is the right path for him. As a Bayern player, I would naturally have liked him to come to us.
