The young midfielder is experiencing his breakthrough season.

For the past two seasons, Florian Wirtz has impressed for Bayer Leverkusen, but now it looks like he is having his breakthrough season. He is one of the key players and appears to have taken on more responsibility despite being only 20 years old. Everyone has been aware of his immense talent since his debut in the 2020/21 season, and since then, he has been an integral part of Leverkusen, as reflected in his overall statistics for the club.

Florian Wirtz record for Leverkusen: 
◉ 111 games
◉ 26 goals
◉ 33 assists 

Florian has undergone significant development and has now reached a point in his career where he is one of the standout players in the Bundesliga. He is expected to contribute to leading Leverkusen to success. When he plays, he doesn't resemble a 20-year-old; instead, he plays with great composure and takes on responsibilities. Currently, he is the player in Leverkusen who has created the most chances, showcasing his evident qualities.

Most chances created in the Bundesliga 2023/24: 
◉ Florian Wirtz (19)
◉ Jonas Hofmann (13)
◉ Jeremie Frimpong (9)
◉ Alex Grimaldo (8) 

Bayer Leverkusen has had a fantastic start to the season and remains undefeated, leading the Bundesliga with 16 points. Victor Boniface has taken Leverkusen by storm, and alongside players like Hoffmann, Frimpong, and Xhaka, he is also a standout performer. However, Florian Wirtz is certainly one of the reasons for the current success. He is the creative force in midfield and a significant contributor to Boniface's goal-scoring opportunities.

His qualities have reportedly attracted interest from FC Barcelona, and if he continues to impress, Leverkusen may find it challenging to retain him after this season.
