Even though the June transfer window is far away, we can already conclude who its main star will be – Florian Wirtz! A new piece of information appears in Germany each week, and each time, a different club is the favourite to snatch him. Only a few days ago, the Spanish media announced that Florentino Perez wants him at Real Madrid as part of a “dream team” he has been building at Santiago Bernabeu. However, the new information, released by the renowned German journalist Florian Plettenberg, claims that Man City are the favourites to sign Wirtz!🚨🆕 Bayer Leverkusen’s ideal scenario is to convince Florian #Wirtz to sign a new contract. His current contract runs until 2027 ✔️If the 21y/o wants to leave next summer, Leverkusen are determined to sell him abroad and not to FC Bayern.So far, Man City’s interest is the… pic.twitter.com/z8gdv4Sj5J— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) October 18, 2024 According to Sky Sports, the Cityzens launched an “offensive” against the 21-year-old, and the reason for that is simple – Kevin De Bruyne needs a successor. The Belgian’s contract with the club from Etihad expires next June, and his stay in Manchester is still vague, especially since the rich Saudi sides lurk the opportunity to bring him. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola sees a perfect replacement for the 33-year-old in Wirtz.On the other hand, the player wishes to move to Bayern Munich, which adds to the conundrum surrounding his future. Sky Sports also claims that the Bavarians’ director of sport, Max Eberl, has initiated the negotiations with Wirtz’s agents as well, wanting to pair him with his Germany teammate and good friend, Jamal Musiala, and thus create a duo for the future.Flo Pérez’s biggest ‘secret’ revealed: Flo Wirtz for €150,000,000Conversely, Bayer Leverkusen want to stop Wirtz’s move to Munich at all costs and avoid reinforcing the direct rivals, especially given that the Bavarians are known for “stealing” the competition’s best players and, that way, dominating the German football. Yet, the Bundesliga clubs started resisting and Leverkusen are doing exactly that.Finally, one of Wirtz’s possible destinations is, of course, Santiago Bernabeu, as everyone knows that when Real want someone, they rarely fail to get him. Still, Sky Sports additionally states that Liverpool, Arsenal, Man United, and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the mix, although they have much smaller chances of signing the German than the trio of Real, City, and Bayern. Either way, Leverkusen can undoubtedly expect to receive €100-150 million of Wirtz’s transfer.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 7FridayDortmund – St.Pauli 1-0 HT/Bensebaini 43/Saturday16:30: (1.72) Freiburg (3.60) Augsburg (5.20)16:30: (1.68) Hoffenheim (4.00) Bochum (4.90)16:30: (1.50) Leverkusen (4.40) Eintr.Frankfurt (6.50)16:30: (1.90) M’ gladbach (3.50) Heidenheim (4.10)16:30: (4.10) Mainz (3.50) RB Leipzig (1.90)19:30: (1.37) Bayern (5.60) Stuttgart (8.50)Sunday16:30: (3.40) Holstein Kiel (3.40) Union Berlin (2.15)18:30: (2.15) Wolfsburg (3.45) Werder (3.35)***odds are subject to change***
