According to a report from SportBILD, Real Madrid have now learned the asking price for the 21-year-old Germany international, which will cost around £125 million.
The 21-year-old has been outstanding for Bayer Leverkusen, and he helped the club win the league title last season. The Germany international has also scored 18 goals and made 20 assists in all competitions.
130 million for Wirtz
He is versatile enough to operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to Real Madrid’s attack. Los Blancos could certainly use more edge in the final third and the Germany international would be a long-term investment. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid are willing to break the bank for him.
Real Madrid are not the only club keen to sign the German midfielder and will face competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The 21-year-old midfielder will be looking to play at the highest level and the opportunity to join a club like Real could be very attractive to him. It remains to be seen whether all parties can finalize an agreement in the coming months.
