Bayern before mega transfer: Wirtz on the way to the Isar?

Rumors about a possible move from Florian Wirtz, the talented offensive player from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, to FC Bayern Munich have gained momentum in recent weeks. Loud laola1.at Everything indicates that the record champions from Munich are seriously interested in the 21-year-old exceptional talent. Wirtz, who is currently recovering from an ankle ligament injury, has a contract with Leverkusen until 2027. Background information shows that Bayern are planning to make a transfer in the summer of 2025, as Leverkusen is no longer showing the same dominance in the current season and has already been eliminated from the Champions League.

Realistic chances for Bavaria

How hna.de reports, the Munich team has a “realistic chance” of bringing Wirtz to Munich next season. Despite a market value of 140 million euros, the club seems optimistic that they will be able to sign the player for a sum below that. The biggest challenge, however, will be to convince Wirtz, as he feels comfortable in Leverkusen and has not yet expressed any desire to move.

The competition for Wirtz should not be underestimated. In addition to Bayern, international heavyweights such as Real Madrid and Manchester City are also vying for the player's favor. Former national coach Joachim Löw also advises Wirtz to stay in Leverkusen until the 2026 World Cup in order to optimally develop and gain match practice. However, the pressure is on as Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge have already hinted at the transfer in the past and made it clear that Wirtz could be a key player for the future of Bayern's midfield.
