The German midfielder might leave Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 if Leverkusen cand Bayern can come to terms

Manchester City and Bayern Munich have been handed a blow to their hopes of a two-way battle for the signature of Florian Wirtz this summer, according to new reports.

Florian Wirtz has already made it clear that he hopes to have a better legacy than one of his Germany team-mates, as Liverpool reportedly eye up the Bayer Leverkusen star

Wirtz played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen's invincible Bundesliga title-winning run in 2023-24, where he was named player of the season thanks to his 11 goals and 12 assists. This season, major trophies weren't in the cards for Leverkusen, but Wirtz still managed 10 goals and 12 assists in the league with one game left to play.

Bayern Munich's primary transfer target may be in jeopardy as his parents travel to England to agree to terms with Man City.

Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is expected to transfer this summer for a record fee, with Bayer AG reportedly approving his sale for €150
