Wirtz missed out on the end of last season, and the start of this season as he recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Despite missing out, he has made a massive impact since returning for the Bundesliga side.
After missing the World Cup, he has made 13 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice and assisting six times.
His most notable performance of the campaign came in the Europa League against Monaco.
Wirtz scored and assisted to send his side to a penalty shootout, which they won and saw them advance to the next round.
It remains to be seen where Wirtz ends up this summer, but with a midfield rebuild on the horizon for Liverpool – it may be a suited move.
His market value is currently at around £70 million, as his contract with Leverkusen runs until the summer of 2027.
Jurgen Klopp’s German links could well play a factor in his move too, as he looks to take the next step in his career.
