Real Madrid suffer major setback as top midfield target reaches agreement with German giants

Florian Wirtz seems to have made up his mind, and it is not good news for Real Madrid. According to a report from AS, the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker has already reached a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich.

Despite recent comments from Xabi Alonso suggesting Wirtz’s future was still open, it now appears that the 22-year-old has eyes only for the Bavarians.

Wirtz has reportedly decided not to renew his contract with Leverkusen and is not entertaining offers from other top clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester City.

His main goal is to play for Bayern Munich, and both parties are working to make that happen soon.

Real Madrid lose ground
While Real Madrid have been tracking Wirtz for a while, this decision shifts the focus back to the Bernabeu. The club is building for the future with young talents, but missing out on Wirtz shows that competition for Europe’s top players is fierce.

Madrid’s interest was real, but Bayern’s early move, combined with Wirtz’s desire to stay in Germany, turned the tide.
