The future of Florian Wirtz will be another of the soap operas on the market. After Kai Havertz, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder is the new gem of the aspirin factory and of his country’s generation, which now adds tons of talent to his genetic competitiveness. He burst into the Bundesliga like a thunderbolt with eight goals and eight assists, breaking the expectations that he already generated, and this season he has already taken off with ten goals and thirteen assists. Staggering figures for a midfielder, arousing the admiration of the European elite.
To day of today, the Bayer Leverskusen assures that this summer will not move of there. Wirtz already has a market value of 70 million euros and a contract until 2026. But the Germans want to continue incubating his qualities at the BayArena, for his price to continue to rise and for the club to benefit from his performance, which has always been on the rise up to now. Fabrizio Romano explains that Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are following him, but that next season he should still play for his current club. It is a goal for the future.
These three clubs, plus Manchester United, of whose interest the English press already reported a month ago, have a common denominator: they are looking for a midfielder. The English, with more urgency before the more than probable exit of Pogba. Although also the Bavarians, with Tolisso increasingly looking like a free agent. Wirtz, in that case, might not have to move from the Bundesliga. The jump would be even more groundbreaking towards the particular Clásico that it generates in LaLiga Santander. Madrid begins to prepare the casting to replace Kroos and Modric, with a preference for an arrival, a quality that the squad lacks; while Barça would consider him as an option given the gap that De Jong would leave if he ends up occupying the role of Busquets.
