FC Bayern and Honorary President Uli Hoeneß dream of Florian Wirtz (21), while Bayer Leverkusen would like to extend again immediately with the coveted offensive player. In the meantime, the international competition has also stretched out its feelers: According to information from the “Sport Bild”, coach Pep Guardiola Wirtz wants to get Manchester City as part of a redesign of the squad.

The 54-year-old would have loved to win the German international for the Skyblues in winter, which was excluded. Wirtz is considered a desired player of Guardiola, who wants to completely reorganize his sporty team. Wirtz is about to sign a new contract with Meister Bayer 04 – which does not deter the start coach. Born in Pulheimer, he should ideally slip into the role of Routinier Kevin de Bruyne (33) as playmaker, executor and preparer. How big the chances you are City is not concrete from the report.
Bayer Leverkusen around his bosses Fernando Carro and Simon Rolfes offer Wirtz for another contract year to 2028 and an exit clause at around 125 million euros from summer 2026. If Wirtz hits an extension, the Werkelf would like to sell it for at least 150 million euros in the coming summer. Because the price in the following two years could decrease due to the contractual situation.
As a result of an acute weak phase, interested parties only take 5th place in the Premier League – 15 points behind leader Liverpool, which even has one more play. In the squad of the English master there are eight Ü30 professionals, at İlkay Gündoğan (34), de Bruyne and Scott Carson (39) the contracts end in summer.
