Everything seems to indicate that the summer of 2025 will be quite eventful around a particular name: Florian Wirtz. The talented 21-year-old attacking midfielder, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, has been the subject of rumors suggesting that he could leave the German club in the upcoming summer transfer market, although his new football destination is still uncertain.
Initially, Florian Wirtz has attracted the interest of several top teams in Europe: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and there is also discreet mention of FC Barcelona, which cannot be completely ruled out in the competition for a player who seems destined to become one of the best in the world in the near future.
Recently, as reported by FCBN, it has been speculated that Bayern Munich has taken the lead in negotiations for Florian Wirtz, being willing to offer more than €100 million for the Pulheim native, with the intention of outbidding Real Madrid, which is also exploring the option of making a financial effort to secure his services.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the merengue team apparently has a certain favoritism in this contest, especially if Carlo Ancelotti leaves the bench and Xabi Alonso takes over as coach of the blanco team, which could give them more strength to sign the German 'jewel'.
The big offer with which Manchester City plans to seal the signing of Florian Wirtz
However, there is another club that does not want to be left behind and is preparing a 'dazzling' offer to add Florian Wirtz. According to journalist Ekrem Konur for the English outlet 'CaughtOffside', Manchester City would be willing to offer around £100 million for the services of the No. 10 from Bayer Leverkusen in the next summer transfer market.
According to this information, the 'Sky Blues' would be willing to shell out around €120 million for Florian Wirtz, a figure close to his market value, as assessed by the Transfermarkt website, which values him at approximately €130 million. This proposal would align with the interests of Bayer Leverkusen, which at one point indicated that they would be willing to receive between 120 and 150 million 'kilos' for one of their most recent promises.
This proposal, combined with the sporting project of Manchester City, could turn the 'citizens' into a strong contender in the race for the signing of Florian Wirtz. This season, the player has shown that his performance in the previous campaign was not a fluke, as he has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 17 matches, establishing himself as one of the key offensive references of Bayer Leverkusen.
