The Bayer Leverkusen star seems ready to sign this summer, despite rumors of extension with the Werkself until this summer.
Wirtz, 22, has been in the crosshairs of the largest European clubs since his meteoric ascent, but his campaign leading Leverkusen as the Bundesliga last season seemed to convince the European giants that he was worth breaking. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City were the trio that had the means to afford it.
Pep Guardiola almost convinced Wirtz.
As Bayern Insider explains, Pep Guardiola, City coach, made a strong impression on Wirtz during a phone call, offering him a transfer to Etihad. Wirtz could of course be succeeded in Kevin de Bruyne in the heart of Guardiola's attack.
Florian Wirtz is before an important decision concerning his future.
Although the contract is not yet signed, Bayern thinks of being close. An agreement in principle has been concluded with Wirtz's agent and father, who believes that a transfer to Munich is the best solution for his son.
The club received the green light from Hans-Joachim Wirtz, and Florian Wirtz informed Xabi Alonso whom he would not leave in City, nor would he follow his coach at Real Madrid, reports Bild.
Xabi Alonso could miss the ideal recruit for Real Madrid
Although no offer from Real Madrid is imminent for Wirtz, it seems that it is part of the players that Alonso wanted to recruit. Earlier in the season, it was also reported that Real Madrid thought Wirtz could be the ideal replacement for Luka Modric, but it seems that they will have to turn to other options.
