Bayern Munich eyes on signing Florian Wirtz this summer: Reports

According to rumors, Bayern Munich has a "realistic possibility" of acquiring Florian Wirtz this summer. Although the great talent's current deal with Bayer Leverkusen extends until June 2027. When the time comes, B04 will seek about €140 million for Wirtz because they are convinced they can keep the 21-year-old till then.

Naturally, several teams have been keeping an eye on Wirtz for a while, notably Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. Bayern, on the other hand, seem the most assured now and will attempt to recruit Wirtz this summer rather than wait.

Given that he was instrumental in Leverkusen's domestic double under Xabi Alonso the previous season, Florian Wirtz has long been a target for Manchester City. James McAtee may be included in a transfer, and the Premier League champions were believed to be the front-runners to get him.

But Bayern Munich is now formally a part of the tournament. Rummenigge, a member of the club's supervisory board, expressed interest in the player, calling Wirtz "the finest player in Germany", and said that Bayern wants to sign him. This summer, Bayern bosses will work hard to convince Wirtz to relocate to Bayern Munich.

The now-Bayer board member Rummenigge told AZ: "[Uli] Hoeness stated that Wirtz is his dream, and that was putting it nicely. Everyone at FC Bayern agrees that he is the ideal player for us to sign. To make Leverkusen weaker, but to make us stronger. The top player in Germany is Wirtz.

Bayern Munich making room to get Florian Wirtz

He is currently enjoying playing for Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso and is very settled there. Bayern is certain they can finance the transaction and maybe acquire Wirtz for less than the €140 million asking price.

Bayern's Champions League last-16 matchup with Wirtz and Leverkusen will begin Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena. In the summer, Bayern will be selling several players, including Sacha Boey and Kingsley Coman.
