According to a report from kicker journalist Georg Holzner (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is going all-in on a pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.
Per Holzner, the Bavarians are just about ready to back up the Brinks truck with an offer to Wirtz, who figures to be one of the most sought-after targets in the 2025 summer transfer window:
Bayern are planning to go ‘fully on the offensive’ for Florian Wirtz next summer. At Säbener Straße, it’s being whispered that the club is ready to dig deep into their pocket to sign Wirtz.
It is no secret that Bayern Munich is prepared to make a big offer for Wirtz, but this could be a situation where the Bavarians need to overwhelm the youngster. Wirtz will have many suitors and Bayern Munich could lose several key players between now and next summer. If star power starts to wane, Wirtz could be Bayern Munich’s solution.
