Number 10 shirt for Florian Wirtz

Bayer 04 player Florian Wirtz now has a different squad number. The 20-year-old will wear the number 10 shirt at his own request following Kerem Demirbay’s move to Galatasaray. Wirtz number 27 shirts can exchanged free of charge.

Wirtz, at Leverkusen since 2020, always wanted to wear the number 10 shirt. That is now possible with the transfer of the 30-year-old Demirbay.

Before Wirtz and Demirbay, the Bayer 04 number 10 shirt was worn by players including Julian Brandt, Hakan Calhanoglu, Yildiray Bastürk, Emerson, Hans-Peter Lehnhoff, Tita and Falko Götz.
