Florian Wirtz, one of Europe’s most promising young players, is apparently considering a move to Bayern Munich, dealing a severe blow to Real Madrid and Manchester City’s transfer ambitions. The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder is widely considered as one of the game’s finest prospects, and his prospective exit has piqued the interest of numerous European elite clubs.
According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich are very interested in signing Wirtz and consider him a top target. The Bavarian club, accustomed for recruiting top German talent, hopes to bring the 20-year-old midfielder to the Allianz Arena as early as next summer. Bayern’s ability to acquire domestic players, along with their regular Bundesliga domination, could make them frontrunners for Wirtz’s signing.
Real Madrid and Manchester City are in pursuit.
Real Madrid and Manchester City have both expressed great interest in Wirtz, seeking to woo him away from Germany. Both teams want to improve their midfield options and view Wirtz as a long-term investment. However, Wirtz is allegedly leaning towards sticking in the Bundesliga for the time being, so their transfer ambitions may be dashed.
Despite Bayern Munich looming as the most likely destination next summer, Wirtz has not ruled out the prospect of moving abroad in the future. A move to Real Madrid or Manchester City may be in the cards later in his career, but for the time being, the German star appears to be focused on furthering his development in his native nation.
If the deal to Bayern Munich goes through, it will strengthen the club’s dominance in Germany while delaying the aspirations of European heavyweights to sign one of football’s rising stars.
