Wirtz, 22, was sold to Liverpool for a record £116 million, leaving Bayer Leverkusen with a significant amount of money to spend in the transfer market this summer. While the club has already used some of this money to buy defender Jarell Quansah from Liverpool, Rolfes is eager to make further signings.

Rolfes stated that the aim is to use the transfer fee from Florian Wirtz's sale to build a team that can win titles. The club's goal is to consistently be among the top four teams in the league and to have the chance to win championships.

Bayer Leverkusen is also reportedly close to signing Malik Tillman, a USMNT midfielder from PSV, to replace the outgoing Wirtz. This move could be an important step in the club's bid to build a title-winning team.
