The possible departure of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen is a topic that undoubtedly has the ability to generate intense debate. Why? The Pulheim native is considered one of the best young players in the world, which has sparked the interest of several teams that have already begun to explore their options to acquire his services.
Currently, the 'Die Werkself''s '10' is under contract with the Germans until 2027, and it is estimated that the transfer fee could range between 130 and 150 million euros. An 'astronomical' amount, but one that seems justified given his great potential and important array of skills.
Now, amid daily speculations about the future of Florian Wirtz, Michael Reschke, former technical secretary of Bayern Munich, has shared his opinion on the player's possible destination. In an interview with 'Sky Sports', Reschke explained why he believes the attacking midfielder could end up signing for one of the big Spanish clubs, with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid showing interest in him.

Reschke affirmed that he sees the talented attacking midfielder more inclined to join the Merengues in the future. He argued his stance by detailing the reasons why he believes Florian could lean towards the Madrid club. "It is clear that Wirtz is thinking of signing for Real Madrid," he commented.
"My personal opinion is that Wirtz will sign for Real Madrid. I think Carlo Ancelotti will be replaced by a Spaniard who currently plays in the Bundesliga (Xabi Alonso) and then it is very likely that he will take his favorite player with him. I have a feeling that everything could fit together."
Despite these assertions, it remains to be seen if this potential transaction will materialize, as other clubs could also present compelling arguments to try to sign Florian Wirtz. Additionally, it is important to consider that the economic factor will play a crucial role in negotiations, considering the high transfer fee mentioned earlier.
Given the outstanding 2024/25 season that the German midfielder is having with Bayer Leverkusen, scoring six goals and providing an assist in nine appearances, and being a key player in the team's offense, his market value may increase. Depending on his performance throughout the campaign, the price of Florian Wirtz is likely to fluctuate, especially if he continues to demonstrate an exceptional level on the field.
