Leverkusen CEO Simon Rolfs was interviewed by the media and talked about Wilz's transfer.

Simon Rolfs said: "Wilz's request is that his transfer should be satisfied with all parties. He told us that Leverkusen should be satisfied with his transfer, too."

"For him, it was not just a transfer, but a move forward. We wanted to renew our contract with Wilz for a year and let him play for at least another season for us."

"Gradually, he felt more interested in the transfer. From February to March, teams in other leagues had more conversations with us."

"We always knew what he thought. We learned through the players' parents which teams they were communicating with. Foreign clubs also contacted us directly. They communicated with us in a very professional and serious tone."

"In May, he told us that he decided to join Liverpool. I believe he is very suitable for Liverpool. This club takes his transfer very seriously."

"Wilz knew why Liverpool wanted to sign him, which was an important factor in his decision to join Liverpool."
