Florian Wirtz, one of Germany’s brightest football talents, has become a prime target for top European clubs as the summer transfer window approaches. Bayer Leverkusen’s star midfielder has already attracted attention from several giants, including Real Madrid. However, Bayern Munich seems to have gained the upper hand in securing his signature.
Bayern Munich’s interest in Wirtz dates back to when he was recovering from a knee injury. Despite his absence from action, Bayern was already considering bringing him on board. Now that Wirtz has returned to peak form, Bayern has intensified its pursuit.
The club has reportedly engaged in multiple meetings with his father and is prepared to offer over €100 million and a long-term contract. However, Bayer Leverkusen would prefer to sell him abroad, avoiding a move to a domestic rival like Bayern.
While Real Madrid remains in the race, their interest has been less aggressive, and Bayern’s proactive strategy has put them ahead. The possibility of Xabi Alonso becoming Madrid’s next coach could influence Wirtz’s decision, but Bayern’s deep connections with the player, including his friendship with Jamal Musiala, make them the frontrunner. With the summer transfer window on the horizon, Bayern Munich is poised to complete one of the biggest signings of the year, outpacing Real Madrid in the race for Wirtz.
