Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz has reportedly agreed on a potential move to Bayern Munich as early as the summer of 2025, according to BILD. Wirtz, a young talent in German football, is eager to join Bayern if both clubs can finalize the deal soon, given his current contract is set to expire in 2027.
Bayer Leverkusen is undergoing significant changes this summer, especially with their manager Xabi Alonso announcing his departure to join Real Madrid, further complicating player decisions.
“Exclusive ✅ FC Bayern and Florian Wirtz (22) have agreed on a transfer!
❇️ Bayern want to offer Leverkusen €100 Million for this Summer
❇️ Wirtz would also wait for Bayern until 2026 if no agreement is reached
❇️ Wirtz has a contract at Leverkusen until 2027”

Despite Wirtz’s apparent interest, the crux of the issue remains with Bayer Leverkusen, who have consistently declined past offers for their star player. With Alonso’s exit, the club is now navigating uncertainty about their squad’s future and Wirtz’s position.
If Bayer decides to retain Wirtz for another season, Bayern might wait until next year, even post the FIFA 2026 World Cup, where Wirtz is expected to shine under the management of former Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.
As Bayern looks to secure Wirtz, other European giants like Manchester City and Chelsea remain interested, although the player’s stay in Germany appears more probable now.
