The midfielder finalized his $156 million (£116 million) move to Liverpool from the Bundesliga side a month ago and has now officially packed up his belongings, ready to kick-start his career on Merseyside.
Wirtz, who is widely considered one of football's most promising talents, chose Liverpool over the German champion Bayern Munich and other interested clubs.
However, unlike former manager Xabi Alonso and full-back Jeremie Frimpong, who were able to bid farewell after their respective summer moves to Real Madrid and Liverpool following Leverkusen's final home match of the season on May 11, Wirtz, a Leverkusen star since January 2020, never had the chance to say goodbye to his fans during the process.
In an Instagram post that resonated with heartfelt sentiments, the midfielder shared a video with the Leverkusen faithful to express his enduring connection to the club beyond the years he spent there.
Wirtz revealed: "Dear fans, unfortunately I wasn't able to say goodbye to you at the last game.

The video concluded with Wirtz packing up his locker at the BayArena, placing his belongings into a box and exiting through the door as the lights dimmed.
Back at Liverpool, Wirtz's new fans are keenly anticipating their record signing's first appearance this pre-season, particularly since he did not participate in the summer's opening match against Preston North End.
The German international was spotted alongside captain Virgil van Dijk, defender Ibrahima Konate, midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and winger Luis Diaz, all of whom have been training individually since returning this week.
Liverpool.com says: Wirtz is going to be a top player for the Reds, but it is clear that he is the right kind of person to have in the dressing room
