Both Madrid and City offered millions, but Wirtz takes third path

Florian Wirtz, 22, is one of the most prominent attacking midfielders in Europe.Although this season has been quite disappointing for him with “only” 16 goals and 13 assists so far – while Bayer Leverkusen won’t defend their domestic double – he’s one of the hottest targets on the market.The Wirtz saga – is it finally over?One thing’s for sure – he’ll leave Leverkusen at the end of the season despite the contract, which expires in June 2027. And he’s not short of suitors. Among them are Real Madrid and Manchester City, but for Wirtz, there’s no dilemma.According to BILD, the German international “has informed Bayer coach Xabi Alonso that he does not want to go to Real Madrid or Manchester City, only to Bayern Munich.” A strong claim from the German newspaper that clears up any doubts about the playmaker’s future.The outlet suggests that Wirtz’s family has already had contact with Bayern, and that there will be a verbal agreement between the two sides following “numerous contacts in recent months.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8910691##Fernando Carro, the Spanish CEO of Bayer Leverkusen, had already mentioned a transfer fee of “at least 150 million euros” for Wirtz in an interview with Radio MARCA, although he later clarified his comments. BILD adds that Wirtz is Bayern’s number-one target for the upcoming transfer window.
