The outlet mentions that Wirtz has drawn significant attention for his exceptional performances and potential for growth. While several clubs are interested in him, two stand out: Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The German club, known for snapping up the best talent from the Bundesliga, is said to have made Wirtz their top priority for the upcoming transfer window.

However, they will face stiff competition from Real Madrid, who are in the market for long-term replacements for their ageing midfield legends, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

Leverkusen’s demand is hefty

Leverkusen are reportedly demanding a hefty fee of at least €120 million to part ways with their prized asset.

This valuation reflects Wirtz’s importance to the team, as he continues to shine this season with nine goals and five assists in 20 matches. His contract, which runs until 2027, gives Leverkusen strong leverage in negotiations.

Bayern Munich appear determined to secure Wirtz’s signature and are said to be planning significant squad changes to fund the move. Reports suggest that the German side might offload high-earning players like Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, and Leon Goretzka to balance their finances.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation, but their pursuit may hinge on the future of Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen’s current manager, who has also been linked with a potential managerial role at the Spanish club.

As the summer window approaches, the race for Wirtz is expected to intensify. Both Bayern and Madrid will need to act decisively to secure one of Europe’s most exciting young talents.
