Bayern Munich have beaten Real Madrid to the signing of Florian Wirtz

Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is set to be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer of 2025. However, it seems he could stay in Germany.

Details. According to The Athletic, Bayer will demand more than €100 million for the sale of their talent. Real Madrid considers this price too high and is unlikely to take significant action to sign the creative midfielder. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is keen on making a high-profile move.

Bayern is desperate to secure one of Germany's best young talents and pair him with Jamal Musiala. The Munich club aims to recreate the German national team's attacking force under Julian Nagelsmann.
