Rumors about Wirtz: Likely Transfer to Liverpool Instead of Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich's Pursuit of Florian Wirtz May Face Challenges Amid Liverpool FC and Real Madrid Interest
Munich - Bayern Munich's hopes of signing national team player Florian Wirtz may be dwindling, with latest reports suggesting that the Leverkusen star is on the brink of joining Liverpool FC, subject to financial agreement between the two clubs. Wirtz, a coveted transfer target, has a contract with Leverkusen until 2027, and the club has previously established a €150 million release clause for the prodigious talent.
According to media outlets Sky, Bild, and Kicker, Wirtz has personally agreed to join Liverpool, with a decisive conversation with coach Arne Slot being the catalyst for this decision. However, as of yet, there is no formal offer from England to Leverkusen.
The possible move to Liverpool presents a potentially significant roadblock for Bayern Munich, who have expressed their desire to secure Wirtz's services. Early this month, the record champions had anticipated a transfer duel with Liverpool FC; this scenario may no longer materialize due to the revelation of Liverpool's favorable stance with Wirtz.
Intriguingly, Real Madrid has also shown keen interest in Wirtz. The upcoming Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, reportedly supports a commitment from Wirtz, given their shared success together at Bayer Leverkusen last year. However, Bayer Leverkusen appears to be hesitant about strengthening domestic rivals, particularly Bayern Munich, potentially hindering Real Madrid's chances.
As the situation stands, Liverpool emerges as the leading candidate to secure Wirtz's transfer, with personal terms reportedly agreed upon. The potential transfer to Manchester City or Real Madrid may still be a possibility, but at a substantial cost of around €150 million. Subsequent developments will determine the outcome of the race for Florian Wirtz.
Bayern Munich might face challenges in securing Florian Wirtz's services, as he seems to have agreed to join Liverpool FC, subject to a financial agreement between the two clubs. Moreover, Real Madrid has also shown interest in Wirtz, potentially creating a tri-way battle for the coveted footballer among Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
