However, Liverpool have now made contact to register their interest, says BBC Sport.
Liverpool have been in talks with Bayer for fullback Jeremie Frimpong and during negotiations they also asked after Wirtz.
Frimpong is on the brink of signing for Liverpool in a £25-30m deal.
Meanwhile, Bayer are insisting on a price of at least £100m to sell Wirtz this summer.
