Real will wait. Florian Wirtz plans to extend his contract with Bayer

A transfer target for Real Madrid is close to extending his contract with the German champions. Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz intends to decline a potential move to another club and will remain in Leverkusen for at least another year.

Details: According to Kicker, the player and the club plan to extend the current deal, which runs until the summer of 2027, by an additional year. It is worth noting that a move to Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window is unlikely, as the Bavarians are not prepared to pay €150 million for the player or meet his salary demands, which reportedly exceed €20 million per year.
