Bayer Leverkusen set the bar for negotiations for Florian Wirtz

The bidding for Florian Wirtz continues to heat up. While Bayer Leverkusen refuse to lose him and plan to offer him a new contract extension (his current contract expires in 2027), Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are dueling for one of the great gems of today's football.

At 21 years old, the German midfielder has established himself as one of the best players in the world, which is why the Bavarians and the Merengues, with clubs such as FC Barcelona and Manchester City also on the lookout, have marked his name as a priority for the next transfer market.

The price that Leverkusen will ask for Wirtz

However, and being one of the great talents of today, his operation will not be cheap. The attacking midfielder, valued at 130 million euros by 'Transfermarkt', is the main asset of the aspirins, who would demand a minimum amount of 120 million to begin negotiating his exit, as reported by 'L'Equipe'.

A figure that would exceed the demands of Madrid, whose economy and list of objectives (Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alphonso Davies...) would not allow them to make an outlay of this magnitude. A scenario that favours Bayern, who are willing to put everything on the line to bring Wirtz together with his friend Jamal Musiala and have in their ranks the duo of the future of German football. The race continues.
