Real Madrid have made 21-year-old Bayer Leverkusen prodigy Florian Wirtz one of their priority targets for next year. Brilliant in Germany, Wirtz is estimated at 130 million euros, an amount that the White House would be ready to pay to secure his services. However, Bayer does not intend to part with its number 10 so easily. According to
Kickerthe club wants to extend Wirtz’s contract until 2028, in order to cool the courtiers, including Real, and to strengthen itself in future negotiations.
Wirtz open to an extension with Leverkusen?
While Real Madrid hopes to complete his transfer, Wirtz would also be open to the idea of extending with Bayer Leverkusen, his training club. This extension would not only allow Bayer to benefit from its talent for longer, but also to guarantee an XXL sale in the event of a subsequent transfer, possibly in the summer of 2026. Real Madrid is not the only club in the running, because Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Arsenal are also said to be on the lookout.
