  • Joachim Löw, former Germany national team coach, recommends that Florian Wirtz remain at Bayer Leverkusen until after the 2026 World Cup to maintain stability and maximize his development.

  • DFB sporting director Rudi Völler confirms that Wirtz has received multiple inquiries but agrees that he is well-positioned to continue growing at Leverkusen for now.
