Wirtz, who is only 21, is one of the hottest properties in world football at present.
Bayer CEO Fernando Carro admitted they have not yet convinced him to sign a new contract.
“I would have been happy if it had been true,” Carro told German outlet Kolner Stadt-Anzeiger.
“The club wants him to stay in Leverkusen at least until the 2026 World Cup, so it is sensible to extend the contract.”
