Florian Wirtz is very popular with the record champions. Now FC Bayern is getting serious competition from England.
Florian Wirtz is one of the most coveted players in Europe. Despite his contract in Leverkusen, FC Bayern have already publicly commented on the national player’s possible commitment. Uli Hoeneß also in an exclusive interview with T-Online (you can read this here). If the German record champion is about, Wirtz ‘future is in Munich.
However, clubs see how Real Madrid, probably different, who would like to sign the DFB star under contract. Above all, Manchester City with ex-Bavaria coach Pep Guardiola wants to have a word in the fight for Wirtz-and now apparently pretends how the “Sport Bild” reports.
Accordingly, the midfielder is the top destination, this summer he should ideally switch to England and initiate the upheaval in Manchester. For this, the English master has secured the services of the Italian player mediator Giovanni Branchini. Branchini therefore has good contacts with the club and had already bagged the move from Pep Guardiola to Munich in 2013.
Although Wirtz’s contract with the German champions runs until mid -2027, it seems more likely to appear that the exceptional talent will actually stay on the Rhine for so long.
“At some point you will read something and then you know,” said Wirtz a few weeks ago about his future. Bayer further hopes that the 29-time international will stay long-term and may even extend his contract with the Rhinelanders.
