According to Sport.de, Bayer Leverkusen are planning an official farewell to Florian Wirtz next Tuesday, when Erik ten Hag’s side host Serie A newcomers Pisa in a friendly at the BayArena.

In the report, it’s said that both the Bundesliga club and the 22-year-old player want to have the opportunity to say goodbye to their supporters, having not been able to do so at the end of last season, as it was unclear at that stage whether or not he would leave in May.

The friendly is scheduled for the day after

Liverpool take on Athletic Bilbao in a double header at Anfield, and the German outfit have requested for Liverpool FC to release the player from training for next Tuesday and Wednesday.

If it’s this important for Florian to say goodbye to the Die Werkself faithful, then I don’t see Liverpool having a big problem with it.
