Florian Wirtz's future remains in the 'eye of the storm'. Despite having a contract until 2027 with Bayer Leverkusen, the German midfielder is the object of desire of the continent's big clubs and his departure from the BayArena during the next transfer market is beginning to gain more and more strength.
In fact, aspirin would already begin to assume this situation, as its CEO, Fernando Carro, let slip in his latest statements. "I can't promise anything, in football you never know. But we don't want to sell our best players to direct competitors, of course... that's what we also said to Jonathan Tah last summer," he said.
In this way, it is clear that Leverkusen have no intention of transferring Wirtz to Bayern Munich who, despite what the Spanish director said, have already started conversations to get ahead of their rivals and carry out the operation. This is reported by journalist Florian Plettenberg, who added that the Bavarian club would be willing to pay a significant amount of money for Wirtz.
Do Barça and Madrid have options for Wirtz?
A situation that could put FC Barcelona and Real Madrid in 'check', two of the great suitors of the German midfielder. However, the biggest 'threat' for the Catalans and Merengues would be in England, where Manchester City would be the club that would be showing the most interest in Florian, since they see him as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne in the team.
Leverkusen would look favorably on his departure to the Etihad Stadium, since they would prefer to sell him abroad and are aware of the economic muscle of the 'skyblues', whose movements are subject to the resolution of the 115 accusations against the Premier League. Aside from this 'handicap', what is clear is that both Barça and Madrid will have to start making moves if they do not want Wirtz to end up far from LaLiga.
