Bayer Leverkusen would naturally prefer not to sell to Bayern Munich, especially not a player of Florian Wirtz’s calibre.
Transfermarkt has put the value of the German attacking midfielder at a whopping €130 million, a price that several clubs are willing to pay. So far, Manchester United, Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been more specific in their interest beyond sending scouts to watch football matches.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany, after inheriting a dismal performing team this summer from Thomas Tuchel (who has now miraculously become England manager), has managed to reverse the negative trend. (Bayer Leverkusen is in 3rd place at the time of writing) Vincent Kompany knows he needs to strengthen himself to be able to catch up with Livepool and Real Madrid in the Champions League.
That it will be a club record if Wirtz is sold is beyond doubt, probably especially if there is a bidding battle, which is likely, it will also be Germany’s most expensive transfer.
Florian Wirtz joined Bayer Leverkusen’s youth team in January 2020 and has since been steadily getting better and better.
German Sky Sports state that FC Bayern are ready to pay a transfer fee of over 100 million euros, which is certainly not enough.
In that case, the purchase would be the most expensive in Bayern Munich’s history. Furthermore, the channel states that the purchase may be partly financed through the sale of some of the club’s current stars.
The information claims that both Kingsly Coman and Leon Goretzka are possible sales objects next summer.
