Biography
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool in June 2025 having established himself as one of the leading talents of his generation in Germany.
A gifted attacking midfielder equally comfortably in scoring goals and supplying them, he advanced through the youth ranks during a decade at Cologne before switching to Bayer Leverkusen at the beginning of 2020 and truly beginning his ascendancy.

Wirtz debuted for Leverkusen just a fortnight after his 17th birthday in May of that year and within a few more weeks had opened his Bundesliga scoring account – a goal against Bayern Munich making him the youngest player ever to net in the division at the time.
He was swiftly integrated into the senior set-up, making 69 appearances in all competitions for Leverkusen in the two seasons that followed – which included 18 goals.
The speed of his progress was reflected by the fact of becoming the youngest player to tally 50 matches in the Bundesliga.
In between times, Wirtz was part of Germany’s winning squad at the U21 European Championship in 2021, providing both goals in the semi-final success over the Netherlands and starting the showpiece victory against Portugal.
