Wirtz played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen's invincible Bundesliga title-winning run in 2023-24, where he was named player of the season thanks to his 11 goals and 12 assists. This season, major trophies weren't in the cards for Leverkusen, but Wirtz still managed 10 goals and 12 assists in the league with one game left to play.

City are basically waiting – and have been for a number of weeks – on a resolution to a Wirtz family discussion over his future.
