Rolfes with a clear message to those interested in Wirtz
Bayer Leverkusen's managing director Simon Rolfes has given all potential suitors for international Florian Wirtz a clear rejection for a transfer in the winter. There is no truth in a 92 million euro offer from Liverpool FC reported by an English newspaper, Rolfes said on Thursday, according to Kicker. "Nobody has approached us - and nobody needs to," said Rolfes. Would sums such as the reported €92 million not cause any pondering? "No, we are a soccer club."
Wirtz is still under contract with Leverkusen until the summer of 2027. His father and advisor had already ruled out a transfer before the 2024 European Championship in recent months.
Despite the reported €92 million offer from Liverpool FC, Bayer Leverkusen remains committed to keeping Florian Wirtz, as confirmed by managing director Simon Rolfes. Regardless of potential interest from other Bundesliga clubs or international teams, Bayer Leverkusen sees itself as a soccer club, not just a buying or selling entity.
