Bayern Munich move ahead of Real Madrid in race for Bundesliga star

Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is widely expected to be one of the major movers in the 2025 summer transfer window, and it looks as if he could be staying in Germany. Wirtz is attracting interest from the biggest fish in his native country, England and Spain.

Bayern Munich are desperate to bring in one of the top German talents, and unite him Jamal Musiala, as Julian Nagelsmann has with die Mannschaft. Meanwhile Real Madrid, potentially with Xabi Alonso at the helm at some point, are expected to move for Wirtz as well.

The Athletic, as carried by Diario AS, say that Leverkusen will require more than €100m to part with the 21-year-old. Los Blancos consider this a tricky fee to stump up for Wirtz, and are unlikely to go all in for the creative talent. Bayern on the other hand are keen to secure a major coup.

Barcelona have previously shown interest in Wirtz – as have most top clubs – but it looks as if it will be Bayern and Real Madrid that compete for his signature. Manchester City have also been linked with Wirtz, and could be tempted to make a move, particularly if Kevin de Bruyne moves on.
