Tapping the Talents of Florian Wirtz: Bayern Munich's Pursuit
Bayern Munich is turning up the heat on its chase for Florian Wirtz. The deal seems to be on the horizon.
According to transfer guru Santi Aouna, Bayern has already nailed down the crucial contract details with the national star—a verbal agreement could be just around the corner.
For several months, the German heavyweights have been keen on the 21-year-old offensive player from Bayer Leverkusen. Now, things seem more tangible than ever. As Aouna reveals, there have been numerous encounters between Bayern leadership and Hans Wirtz, the player's father and advisor, recently.
Although the transfer contract hasn't been finalized yet, it appears that money isn't a concern for Wirtz, according to reports.
No Link with Leverkusen Yet
Bayern has been following a well-established transfer strategy for years: first, striking an agreement with the player, and then negotiating with the current club. As Aouna states, there hasn't been any direct contact with Bayer Leverkusen so far.
With a contract running until 2027, Wirtz carries an estimated market value of approximately 140 million euros—a potential transfer fee could fall within this bracket. Reports suggest Bayern is ready to shell out over 100 million euros, while Bayer Leverkusen may consider selling for at least €150 million if Wirtz doesn't extend his contract.
In addition to Bayern, Manchester City continues to display keen interest. The Sky Blues aim to stay in the competition, despite Bayern's seemingly clear stance.
Unraveling the Intricacies
The latest news suggests Bayern Munich is in a commanding position to recruit the young midfielder. With key figures like Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge involved in the negotiations, a summer transfer seems plausible. Although other clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid show interest, Bayern appears confident in securing Wirtz's signature.
Future plans hint at Wirtz possibly leaving Bayer Leverkusen after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Current Bayern players, like Josip Stanisic, have expressed excitement about the potential addition of Wirtz to the team, viewing it as a strategic fit for both parties. Stays tuned for more updates!
