Bayer Leverkusen's project may fall apart in the coming months. Along with the already known departure of Xabi Alonso, who will head to Real Madrid, Florian Wirtz, their great star, will also leave. Although the man from Tolosa intended to take him to Santiago Bernabéu as well, it seems that the attacking midfielder's plans are different. This is how strongly they have expressed it in Germany, stating that he has already chosen his next club: Bayern Munich.
Florian Wirtz Confirms to Xabi Alonso: "I'm Going to Bayern"
BILD has revealed that Wirtz's intention is to continue living in Germany, dismissing the proposals from Real Madrid and Manchester City. His next destination will be Bayern Munich, where he will arrive to enhance their current great squad. He has received positive inputs and is clear that this will be his next club, ruling out other options, as Xabi Alonso already knows.
From the German country, they assure that, in a private conversation, Florian Wirtz has already confirmed to Xabi Alonso that he will not accompany him to Madrid. He doesn't want to leave Germany and considers that his best possible destination is Bayern, where he hopes to continue winning the Bundesliga and compete for the Champions League.
The operation is taking shape, with Bayern willing to dig deep into their pockets for Wirtz. In total, a contract for the next five years is being discussed, with the midfielder earning between 20 and 25 million euros per season. The price to pay Leverkusen will also be high, presumably exceeding 100M.
Florian Wirtz, Bayern's Next Star
Florian Wirtz has already established himself as one of the great stars of European soccer. At 22 years old, the young German talent leads Bayer Leverkusen with impressive numbers: 16 goals and 13 assists in 43 matches played. Under Xabi Alonso's direction, Wirtz has unleashed his full potential, becoming the great offensive reference for Leverkusen, which conquered the Bundesliga just a year ago.
The attacking midfielder stands out for his vision of the game, technical quality, and ability to make a difference both in the final pass and in finishing. His influence on Leverkusen's game is total: he drops back to receive, breaks lines with dribbling, and intelligently appears in dangerous areas. His performance has not gone unnoticed by the major European clubs, to the point that he will soon go to Bayern.
In Germany, many already point to him as the future leader of the national team, a star who can define an era. Florian Wirtz not only shines for his statistics but also for his maturity on the field. A generational talent who is destined to write his name among the best in the world. His present is already brilliant, and his future even more promising, although it seems it will not be in Madrid, as Xabi Alonso wanted.
