Florian Wirtz helped Bayern Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title

Wirtz helped Bayern Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title in 2023/24 as he started 26 games for them. He has also been their highest-rated player in this campaign with 20 G/A this season. Following his recent success, now the 22-year-old might’ve just hinted at wanting new opportunities as the end of the season approaches. 

Wirtz has been heavily linked to Manchester City since the previous season. Moreover, with the news of Kevin De Bruyne’s departure, Wirtz has emerged as the favorite among the candidates to replace him. 

Bayern Munich are very close to assigning the German

The latest news has arrived that Bayern Munich are very close to assigning the German from their rivals, Bayer Leverkusen. 

Considered one of the greatest talents of this generation and also a future German star, it makes sense for him to move to the European giants meaning he would not have to move countries and play for the biggest and greatest club in the country. 

Him and Jamal Musiala combined will run riot for Bundesliga defenses, if they join forces. 

Closest profile to Kevin De Bruyne in Football

Whereas Manchester City move also makes sense as he is the closest profile to Kevin De Bruyne and as the Belgian has already announced huis departure from Manchester City, he would be right into the team and would become and indispensable part of the team. 

Real Madrid also makes sense, the biggest club in the European spectacle and also his boss, Xabi Alonso rumored to be moving to Madrid might sway the German. It might be a good move for Wirtz as Xabi has brought the best out of him and might be key to performing at the biggest stage.

When asked about his future adventures and what he makes of the potential offers coming in, Florian Wirtz gave his insights in his latest interview, saying: 

“I’m lucky to have so many excellent clubs right on my doorstep and to now be able to play for one of the best clubs in Germany and Europe”.

“It’s tempting for me to leave my comfort zone at some point and experience something new.” Said Florian Wirtz

“It’s tempting for me to leave my comfort zone at some point and experience something new. I know the football dressing rooms well enough and am convinced that I would quickly find my place anywhere”.

The 22-year-old Wirtz has a contract with Leverkusen to 2027 but has been linked with a number of teams including Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid. Widely considered one of the best players in Germany, the right sale of Wirtz is expected to bring big money to the Bay Arena.
