The prerequisite is that an association pays 150 million euros for the 22-year-old. That would be both a Bundesliga record and a German transfer record. It is questionable whether Bayern are ready. The “picture” had reported that the Munichers wanted to offer 100 million euros this summer. If that is not enough, Wirtz, who had already committed himself to a transfer to the record champions, would wait until 2026.

Update 7:17 p.m.: According to “Sky”, Bayern are pushing for a change from Wirtz this summer. Accordingly, the negotiations between the German record champions and the Werkelf have already started. In the best case, the exceptional men should already appear at the club World Cup in the Munich dress.
Man City with Bayer Leverkusen because of Wirtz?
“Sky” reporter Sacha Tavolieri, meanwhile, reports that Bayer has been holding conversations with Manchester City about a Wirtz transfer for weeks-and that there should also be a fundamental agreement. The Citizens have to replace Kevin de Bruyne (33) in summer, who leaves the club after his contract. However, the salary that Bayern is willing to pay Wirtz is higher than MAN City. Accordingly, the English no longer pay a player Pep Guardiola, who is supposed to collect around 23.7 million euros gross annually. The Leverkusener waves 25 million euros in Munich.
Sports chief Simon Rolfes put the chances of staying in Leverkusen on Sunday with “60:40”, Carro at 50:50. “Florian is a Bayer 04 player and we are fighting for him to still be next year,” said Rolfes. “Of course we know that there is a lot of interest, also of top -class clubs. (…) It is not that he has offers for the first time this year from clubs that are interested. That was also the case in recent years, but he always had the feeling that the right place is for him.” Wirtz still has a contract in Leverkusen until 2027. Bavaria board member Max Eberl had given questions about a rumored settlement at the weekend.
