Bayern Munich is gearing up for a competitive transfer season as they pursue Bayer Leverkusenâs promising player, Florian Wirtz, amid interest from Real Madrid.
The German champions are looking to strengthen their attack, especially after missing out on Xavi Simons and Désiré Doué, despite acquiring Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.
Wirtz, a standout performer who has recovered impressively from a serious knee injury, has emerged as Bayern’s top target for the summer of 2025. Leverkusen values him at âŹ150 million, but Bayern hopes to negotiate the price down to around âŹ100 million.
Real Madridâs involvement could complicate the situation and potentially increase his price. With just two years left on his contract next summer, it might be a strategic time for Leverkusen to capitalize on his talent.
Bayern sees Wirtz as a crucial long-term addition, pairing him with Jamal Musiala to revitalize their attack as older players like Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman approach their thirties.
The upcoming match between Leverkusen and Bayern at the Allianz Arena will provide Wirtz a platform to demonstrate his abilities, highlighting what Bayern could miss if they fail to secure him next summer.
