Nagelsmann expressed his views on Wirtz's potential move ahead of Germany's upcoming Nations League semi-final match against Portugal. He stated, "I have never told a player to move to a specific club. What matters most is that he continues to play and maintain a significant role in his new team, similar to the one he had at Leverkusen. We acknowledge that he is one of the world's top players." Nagelsmann's comments highlight the importance of Wirtz's playing career and his desire to see him continue to thrive in his next role.
