According to a report by German outlet Kicker, Florian Wirtz is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. The newly crowned Bundesliga champions are combing the market for a creative midfielder heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker has emerged as a target for Die Roten.
However, the Bavarian giants are worried about Liverpool’s emerging links with the highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen talisman. The two clubs have held talks with the youngster’s entourage, and the transfer fee for a move will cost over €100 million in the summer transfer window.
Florian Wirtz has established himself as one of the best players in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Bayer Leverkusen. Die Werkself signed the young playmaker in January 2020, and he established a foothold in the senior setup at the Bundesliga club a few months later. Since then, he has come leaps and bounds, becoming a pivotal figure for Xabi Alonso’s team.
While Bayer Leverkusen surrendered the Bundesliga title to Bayern Munich this season, Wirtz was top-notch, contributing to 31 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 16 times and providing 15 assists. However, the German international faces an uncertain future at BayArena, with European bigwigs like Bayern Munich and Liverpool vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Bayern Munich’s interest in Florian Wirtz makes sense.
