With 15 goals and 13 templates in 37 competitive games, Florian Wirtz underpins the Bayer Leverkusen jersey this season that it is one of the outstanding talents of European football. No wonder that rumors about the future of the 21-year-old make headlines almost every day. FC Bayern is also mentioned again and again, as those responsible flirt surprisingly openly with an obligation. For these, you are supposed to be ready to go to the limits in Munich.
FC Bayern will “set everything on the move” in 2025 to attract Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to Säbener Strasse. The “kicker” reports.
Accordingly, even the fixed deposit account of the German record champion that is no longer so generously filled will not stand in the way of an early advance, should there be a signal that a change is possible.
However, according to the specialist magazine, many things currently indicate that Wirtz will extend his contract in Leverkusen, dated to the end of June 2027. Most recently, Bayer sports director Simon Rolfes, confronted with the rumors about his superstar, was also quite relaxed at “Sky”.
A scenario that is supposed to accommodate FC Bayern. “I think the Bavarians hope for an extension of the contract, for an exit clause,” said “Sky” transfer insider Florian Plettenberg in the football talk “Doppelpass” on “Sport1”. Wirtz can therefore very well imagine a change to the Isar and should even strive for it.
First FC Bayern, then abroad?
“We have the info that he wants to go to Bavaria and that he sees it in his career planning like this: first Bavaria, then abroad. I don’t know whether that can be realized,” summarized Plettenberg.
Another extension, combined with a later advance of FC Bayern, certainly also harbors dangers. If Wirtz increases his performance again if you stay, the advances of the financially strong competition from Madrid, Manchester and Co., according to media reports, should be even more violent.
To skip an intermediate step in Germany, I absolutely trust the companion of Wirtz to the youngster. Wirtz has better the potential to become Kai Havertz, judges Wirtz former Cologne youth coach Marc Dommer.
He sees the German international “more in the Messi category”. “For me it belongs to the world star category. I believe that he can get there,” said Dommer. In that case, Wirtz is now really open all goals.
