Bayern Munich believe they have gained an edge in the pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz following confidential negotiations between club patron Uli Hoeneß and the player\'s father, Hans-Joachim Wirtz, who also serves as his agent.
The high-level discussions reportedly took place at Tegernsee, where Hoeneß personally invited the elder Wirtz. This wasn\'t their first meeting as the two have developed a positive relationship over time.
Bayern\'s interest in Wirtz has reached unprecedented levels, with the club reportedly willing to secure financing for the transfer—a first in the organization\'s history. This extraordinary measure is said to have made a strong impression on the Wirtz family.
Bayern view Wirtz\'s potential transition to the club as a more natural progression compared to moving abroad, though reports suggest the player himself is intrigued by opportunities at Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Wirtz has been in exceptional form this season, contributing 21 goals and 14 assists for Bayer Leverkusen, ranking third in the Bundesliga according to WhoScored ratings.
