Wirtz has made a decision that has surprised many in the European football environment. The young talent from Bayer Leverkusen, linked in recent months to Real Madrid, has ruled out the possibility of joining the white team, even if Xabi Alonso—his current coach— ends up at the Santiago Bernabéu's bench. The news has come as a shock in the Valdebebas offices, where his signing was seen as a strategic move for the future.
Wirtz wants to sign for Bayern Munich
The German attacking midfielder is having a brilliant season, leading with character and quality a Leverkusen team that has amazed everyone. Despite his youth, Wirtz's football maturity has put his name at the top of the agendas of the biggest clubs on the continent. However, Wirtz has been clear about his preferences: he doesn't want to leave his home country at this point in his career.
Bayern Munich, closely monitoring the market movements, has been the main beneficiary of this stance. The player's willingness to stay in the Bundesliga fits perfectly with the plans of the Bavarian giant, which sees him as the ideal successor to continue its dominance in Germany. Talks between the parties are progressing, and the Munich club would be ready to make a significant investment to bring him on board.
This strong stance from the German international has altered Real Madrid's plans, as they considered him one of the key future investments. With the player's priority set on continuing his career in Germany, Florentino Pérez will have to look at other profiles to strengthen his squad. Wirtz, on his part, remains true to his idea and aims to keep shining brightly in his own country.
