Bayern Munich Favorites to Secure Florian Wirtz’s Signature

Bayern Munich appear to be leading the charge for the signature of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz stock in 2025.

The 21-year-old star has been nothing short of exceptional, tallying 38 goal involvements in 49 appearances last season. His role in guiding Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga title and deep European runs has solidified his place among Europe’s brightest young talents.

While Manchester City and Real Madrid are keen, Bayern’s advantage lies in Wirtz’s reported desire to stay in Germany. Pep Guardiola views him as the ideal heir to Kevin De Bruyne, offering versatility across the front line. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are eyeing him as another galactic addition.

Wirtz is contracted to Leverkusen until 2027, but with interest building, a high-profile move could materialise sooner than expected, with Bayern favourites to keep him in the Bundesliga.
