Florian Wirtz decides preferred destination amid Real Madrid, Man City & Bayern Munich interest | OneFootball

Florian Wirtz is reported to have informed Bayer Leverkusen of his desire to seal a transfer to Bayern Munich this summer.

Bayern officials have openly discussed their desire to sign Wirtz, who they want to throw into an attacking line which includes another superstar German international, 22-year-old Jamal Musiala.

Wirtz, three months Musiala's junior, is a target for a number of elite sides after yet another stellar individual campaign with Leverkusen. Real Madrid are long-term admirers, while Manchester City are known to be keen on Wirtz as they seek to replace Kevin De Bruyne this summer.

According to SPORT BILD, Wirtz is well aware of the interest in his services but has his sights set solely on a move to Bayern this summer.

He is said to have already communicated that decision to manager Xabi Alonso, who has been tipped to try and take Wirtz to Madrid if he replaces Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu as expected.

It is believed that Wirtz and his family have reached an agreement over personal terms with Bayern, who are now expected to ramp up talks over what could be the most expensive transfer of the summer.

Bayer executive Fernando Carro has already publicly warned Wirtz's suitors that the 22-year-old is likely to cost close to €150m (£127.1m), but he has since insisted such a valuation was a "mistake" as he instead described Wirtz as "priceless".

While Bayer will want to bring in as much money as possible for Wirtz, they are under some pressure as the versatile midfielder will enter the final two years of his contract this summer, meaning this is likely the last chance they will have to sell the German for his true value.

The Bundesliga champions are prepared to spend big to land Wirtz, who they want to fill the void soon to be left behind by Thomas Muller as the Bayern legend prepares to bid farewell to the club this summer.
