Career and background
Wirtz’s breakthrough was unusually early: he became Leverkusen’s youngest Bundesliga player in May 2020 and, the following month, the competition’s youngest scorer at the time. His 11 goals and 11 assists in the unbeaten 2023–24 league campaign earned him the Bundesliga Player of the Season award. Lionel Messi was a childhood idol whose videos he studied.Source: Liverpool FC ↗

Family life
Football also runs through his family. His older sister Juliane became a professional player and, like Florian, moved from Cologne to Leverkusen.
