The 21-year-old offensive midfielder has been performing in the senior team of pharmacists since 2020. He had long had the opinion of a huge talent, which the explosion took place last season. Then he became the driving force of the offensive in the team commanded by Xabi Alonso, who won the Bundesliga championship without losing a single meeting in these competitions. In addition, Bayer added a triumph in the German Cup, and he lost the only match in the season in the final Europa League. Atalanta Bergamo, who won 3: 0, turned out to be better there. During the entire campaign, the German played 49 matches on all fronts, in which he scored 18 goals and scored 20 assists.
This year, pharmacists are not doing so well. Three queues before the end of the Bundesliga have 8 points loss to Bayern Munich, so it is almost certain that they will not be able to defend the title. They ended the game in European cups at 1/8 Champions Leaguein which Bavarians succumbed to the feud. In turn, in DBF Pokal they reached nipinebut there they sensationally lost 1: 2 with the third league Arminia Bielefeld.
Bayern runs in the race for Wirtz? Everything indicates it
Despite the worse season in terms of team, individually Wirtz still presents a high level. In 42 games he scored 15 goals and 13 assists. His invariably good game He maintains the interest of large clubs, which has been talked about for some time. The most serious candidates to bring Wirtz were Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern. As in mid -April he reported the German “Bild”, The footballer was closest to communicating with Real.
On Tuesday, the portal “Foot Mercato” said that Wirtz eventually took a different direction and reached an agreement with Bayern. According to the mentioned website, the Bavarians managed to get along with Wirtz on the basic issues of the contract, although the remuneration and duration of the contract were not made.
This does not mean, however, that the Bayer star will definitely go to the league rival. Now both clubs have to work out among themselves, and pharmacists will not want to sell their biggest star cheaply, which has a contract by 2027. “Bild” reported that the Wirtza buyout clause is EUR 125 million and probably such an amount transfer The Leverkusen club will be interested in.
The current lack of agreement between German teams means, however, that in the game by 21-year-olds still remain Real and City, although they are currently in a position worse than Bayern. In turn, the least probable option is Wirtz's extending the contract with Bayer. Especially in the face of the attempts of the club from Madrid to employ Xabi Alonso as a club coach.
