Florian Wirtz’s top choice: Real Madrid, despite other offers

The young German midfielder impressed last season with his performances for Leverkusen and is one of the main reasons Bayer managed to win the German championship.

Although he had several offers to change midfield last summer, Wirtz decided to stay in Leverkusen, but as things stand this summer, it will be difficult to keep him.

For several months, it has been written that three clubs are in a big fight for Wirtz's signature, namely Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern.

Real Madrid and Bayern were also interested in bringing the Leverkusen midfielder last summer, while City recently joined the fight for his signature because Pep Guardiola believes that Wirtz would be an ideal replacement for Kevin de Bruyne.

Also, Leverkusen is rubbing its hands with satisfaction because they insist that a club that wants Wirtz must activate the 125 million euro clause because they have no intention of selling him for less than that.

Of course, money is not a problem for the clubs that have shown interest in him and it seems that in the end Wirtz will be the one who will decide where he wants to go.

Decision

The reputable Bild reports that Wirtz has already made his decision. Apparently, his choice is Real Madrid, which he has made known to his agents. He is aware that the Kings will make changes in the midfield and that he could be the main link in the midfield at Real.

Wirtz also did not reject offers from City and Bayern because he wants to have a backup option if the transfer to Real Madrid does not materialize.

However, it is clear that Wirtz prefers to go to Real and has made it a priority, which will make Florentino Perez very happy.

However, Wirtz's arrival could be a big blow to Luka Modrić, as it is speculated that in that case the experienced Croatian will not receive a new contract, and that the German will be given the number ten jersey in the summer.

Bayern tried in every way to convince Wirtz to come to Munich and even offered Leverkusen Kingsley Coman as part of the transfer, which was tempting, but it was the player who decided that Real Madrid had an advantage over the other two clubs.
