Bayer Leverkusen are waiting for Florian Wirtz to indicate his transfer intentions this summer, with the club preferring he doesn\'t join Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, according to Sky Sport Deutschland.
The talented midfielder, who celebrates his 22nd birthday on Saturday, is expected to depart either this summer or in 2026. The timing ultimately depends on Wirtz\'s personal desire to remain with Leverkusen for another season.
Transfer Destinations
Should Wirtz request a move, Leverkusen would prefer selling to Manchester City or Real Madrid rather than strengthening their domestic competition. Reports suggest the club has set a transfer fee of approximately €150 million for the German international.
Wirtz has been instrumental to Leverkusen\'s success this season, contributing nine goals and ten assists in Bundesliga competition. His WhoScored rating stands at an impressive 7.52.
The playmaker\'s technical abilities have been on full display, averaging 1.9 key passes and 2.7 successful dribbles per match throughout the campaign.
