Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is drawing major interest from top European clubs, including Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal FC, and Liverpool FC. However, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder’s next move will be influenced primarily by the coaching situation at any potential suitor, not just the prestige of the club.
According to a report from kicker journalist Georg Holzner, Wirtz’s father and agent, Hans Wirtz, is open to the idea of his son joining Bayern Munich. The Bavarians are reportedly rolling out the red carpet for the young talent, envisioning him as the club’s central figure in the No. 10 role for the future. Bayern’s financial strength makes them more than capable of affording the deal, but ultimately, the decision rests with Florian.
Despite Bayern Munich’s interest, Florian Wirtz’s decision-making process seems focused on the club’s coaching setup and long-term plans for him, rather than simply the club itself. Wirtz has previously had a connection with Bayern Munich through Uli Hoeneß, who has known the player since his teenage years when Bayern first scouted him.
However, Wirtz’s options are far from limited, with Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and the potential future move of Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid emerging as possible alternatives. The allure of Guardiola’s tactical setup and the opportunity to work under the experienced Alonso could influence Wirtz’s decision.
The young midfielder’s future remains uncertain as these European giants continue to jockey for position, but one thing is clear: Florian Wirtz’s next move will be shaped by a combination of his ambitions, the right managerial fit, and the prospects each club offers.
