Young German playmaker Florian Wirtz continues to attract attention in Europe and his future seems increasingly far from the Bundesliga. Clubs such as Barça and Real Madrid have been keeping a close eye on his development, as Florian Wirtz has established himself as one of the biggest talents in European soccer. His ability to play through the lines and create danger has made him attractive to clubs looking to strengthen their attack.
In recent days, rumors about his possible departure increased, with both Barça and Madrid having been linked with his transfer. Both teams are looking to rejuvenate their squad with future talent and Florian Wirtz fits that profile perfectly. However, the chances of him ending up in Spain seem to have faded following statements from a senior German soccer executive.
Rudi Völler confirms interest
During a recent interview on Welt TV, Rudi Völler , the sporting director of the German soccer Association, was blunt. In his statements, he mentioned that "it is no secret that Bayern Munich want him." Although he didn't directly mention negotiations, he did hint that the Bavarian giants are keeping a close eye on the young talent from Bayer Leverkusen.
Florian Wirtz, currently playing for Leverkusen, has maintained an excellent relationship with his club. But the interest of teams such as Bayern and the possibility of a move to a team with constant European aspirations is a temptation that may be difficult to refuse.
Wirtz's future is moving towards Munich
Bayern Munich have proven on more than one occasion that they are capable of attracting the best talents in German soccer. Wirtz is seen as a key piece for the future of the club, especially after the departure of players such as Thomas Müller, who will soon have to give way to new generations. Although Barça and Real Madrid have been interested, Bayern seem to have taken the lead in this race.
With the statements confirming Bayern's interest, everything points to the German being able to follow in the footsteps of other Bundesliga talents who have ended up at the Allianz Arena. Although Barça and Real Madrid have the financial power to compete for big transfers, it seems that, in this case, Bayern have moved more quickly and decisively.
