According to a Sport Bild story, Arsenal is currently attempting to sign Florian Wirtz, a star for Bayer Leverkusen. iMiaSanMia has more details.

Real Madrid’s desire to sign the German defender makes sense. Despite only being 21 years old, he is already among the world’s most intriguing young football players.

Conversely, Arsenal has been keeping an eye on Wirtz for some time. When he was younger, they watched him play for DC Köln.

According to reports, Wirtz already knows what he wants to do after his contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in 2027.

After leaving the Bundesliga team, he hopes to play for and win a Champions League title with another team.

Additionally, he hopes to play for a squad that will allow him to contend for individual honors such as the Ballon d’Or. Because they are aware of Wirtz’s potential, Bayer Leverkusen is asking €150 million for him.

Real Madrid continues to lead.

Wirtz is unlikely to be leaving Leverkusen anytime soon. However, it is believed that Real Madrid will ultimately be the favorite to sign the playmaker.

The fact that Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen at the moment, may succeed Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid’s manager after the Italian coach departs is a major factor in this.

Wirtz and Alonso have collaborated extensively, and the former midfielder’s influence may be crucial in any potential move.

Although it will be some time until the next summer transfer market opens, Real Madrid is still favored to sign Wirtz. They face fierce competition from prominent European teams like Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
