Star rising German football, the Leverkusen attacking midfielder arouses the lusts of the biggest European clubs. But according to the latest information from Germany, its next destination is now almost acted. An agreement was reached with a European cador, and except reversal, this is where Wirtz should settle down this summer.
Manchester City is taking action for Wirtz
This club is Manchester City. According to Sky Sportsthe reigning England champion would have reached an agreement in principle with Leverkusen for an estimated transfer of 100 million euros. A major advance in the Wirtz soap opera, when the discussions had so far concentrated around Bayern Munich, long expected to accommodate the German gem. The fact remains that nothing is closed yet: if City has taken a step ahead, the situation remains moving.
Still according to the same source, Wirtz would favor a support in the Bundesliga, with a preference for Bayern. The Bavarian club has a major lever: a wage proposal much higher than that of Skyblues, limited by the club's internal policy not to exceed the salary of Pep Guardiola. In the event of Bayern offensive, Leverkusen would even be ready to raise the price at 150 million euros, judging Munich as a direct rival.
Real and the status quo, options that are still possible
Long mentioned on the side of Real Madrid, especially in connection with Xabi Alonso, Wirtz no longer seems to be a priority for the Merengue. The announced departure of his coach at Casa Blanca makes this option unlikely. The player could also choose to stay an additional season in Leverkusen, before leaving in 2026 at a reduced rate. An still credible scenario, despite the Cityzen agreement.
If the path is still long, Manchester City has taken the lead. But in such a tense transfer window, every day can turn back the cards. For Wirtz, the future seems to be taking shape in England … but nothing is engraved in marble.
