Wirtz's signing almost closed: They announce the transfer agreement and it's imminent

One of the footballers whose signing was considered for some time in the Valdebebas offices is Florian Wirtz. The profile of the Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder fit in Santiago Bernabéu locker room, but there were two major obstacles to making his signing a reality. The first, without a doubt, was the high transfer fee requested by the werkself bosses.

In addition to such financial demands, equal to or greater than 100 million euros, Real Madrid had the great competition of clubs like Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Both teams had reportedly taken the lead according to information revealed in recent days, achieving verbal agreements with the entourage of Bayer Leverkusen's "10".

Real Madrid would be completely disconnected from a transfer attempt in which other clubs have taken the spotlight. According to Sky Sport, Florian Wirtz's entourage had reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for his move to the Etihad Stadium locker room this summer. That is the same situation he had regarding Bayern Munich, with only the agreement with his original team missing.

Bayer Leverkusen still hasn't registered any transfer offer sent by any club, so they are still waiting for that first move from Bayern Munich or Manchester City. Aside from that approach to the noble area of the BayArena, Sky Sport reminds that Bayern Munich offers Florian Wirtz the highest salary.

Doubts remain

That could be one of the determining considerations in the resolution of this saga in the next summer transfer market. The verbal agreement reached with Manchester City brings him closer to the Premier League, a future that the bosses led by Fernando Carro favor much more. The werkself board wishes to avoid Florian Wirtz's departure to their great rival in the Bundesliga, favoring approaches from Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Only the entity coached by Pep Guardiola would have surpassed the initial phases of this "case," while Real Madrid has been experiencing a considerable loss of prominence for weeks... which "pushes" them to seek other midfielder profiles to rebuild their first team before and after the FIFA Club World Cup organized between June and July.

In any case, Real Madrid is left practically without options in the "Wirtz case". The signing now remains, according to information published by Sky Sport, between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. The Bavarian entity offers the highest salary of both teams, but the sky blue squad could offer him a starting position and a key role in the new sports project.

That situation wouldn't occur in the Bavarian team, given that Jamal Musiala occupies his same position and areas of the field. Manchester City discusses the signing of Florian Wirtz by Bayern Munich through a verbal agreement with Florian Wirtz's entourage and adjusts the timelines of this operation.
