'BOMBACE': The unexpected turn that Florian Wirtz's future would have taken

Big news is coming from Germany regarding the future of one of the most sought-after young players today, Florian Wirtz. His future has become a topic that has sparked various contrasting opinions, with several clubs showing favoritism, such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even FC Barcelona. The latter seems to be slightly behind in the race for the 'Die Werkself's' number 10, but cannot be ruled out as a favorite to secure the signing.

However, one of the less publicized ideas about Florian Wirtz's future is his potential stay at Bayer Leverkusen, given that he is under contract until June 30, 2027. This option is gaining strength, and it seems likely to be the ultimate outcome, not just for this season but for a longer-term commitment.

The new scenario regarding Florian Wirtz's future

According to the German media outlet 'Kicker,' it is suggested that Florian Wirtz has already made up his mind about his future. Despite having options to join several top European teams willing to meet his financial demands and make him a key piece in their sporting projects, the Pulheim native has reportedly decided to remain at Bayer Leverkusen beyond June 30, 2027.

The source mentioned claims that the team based at the BayArena has offered Florian Wirtz a new contract with a substantial pay rise, making him the highest-paid player at the club (a position currently held by Nordi Mukiele), and he has reportedly accepted, extending his contract by at least another year. The deal is said to be already sealed and signed.

This move is positive in all aspects for Bayer Leverkusen, especially considering that Florian Wirtz would be able to compete at a higher level wearing the club's jersey. With an additional year in his contract, the German team gains more control in negotiations. Having had several years of partnership with the attacking midfielder, they do not face pressure to reduce his transfer fee in the face of potential free agency. This gives 'Die Werkself' greater flexibility to sell the player at the right time and at a price commensurate with his increasing market value.

Another reason why the German 'gem' could stay at Leverkusen

It is also asserted that Florian Wirtz's future is not tied to Xabi Alonso's, which was considered a significant factor in a potential team change for the young 'star,' as there were discussions that the player might be a major draw for the Basque coach's next team.

Additionally, the German international is said to have made the decision to stay at Leverkusen as a sign of gratitude towards a team that has given him the opportunity to shine internationally as one of the world's best players. Since his arrival in January 2020 at the age of 16, Bayer provided him with the chance to grow and evolve, thus helping shape him into the star he is today.

Will any team manage to change Wirtz's mind?

The future of Florian Wirtz remains uncertain, although it appears that his continuity at Bayer Leverkusen is becoming more solid. It remains to be seen whether the clubs interested in his services give up on their desire to sign him or present more appealing proposals, either from an economic or sporting perspective, to convince this young talent who has become one of 'Die Werkself's' offensive cornerstones, accumulating 11 goals and five assists in 24 matches.
