Wirtz Case is Not Over, Real Madrid Still Sees an Option to Transfer the Star Player

According to German media, the German player will renew his contract with Bayer Leverkusen

Florian Wirtz is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after players by all the big clubs in Europe. Real Madrid is closely following his situation and the latest news surrounding the player have caught the attention of Florentino Pérez.

In the last few hours, as reported by Kicker, Florian Wirtz is about to renew his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. With a contract until 2026, the German player has reportedly agreed to extend his contract for another year. His father and his agent, two very close people who advise the player in this type of choices, have a lot to do.

Goodbye to Manchester City and Bayern Munich

It seems unlikely that Florian Wirtz will join Real Madrid next summer, but he will not join other clubs either. With his renewal, teams like Manchester City or Bayern Munich will find it much more difficult to execute his transfer.

The German club has reportedly offered the player a new contract, with a significant pay rise, and the player has reportedly accepted it. According to the same sources, he has already signed it. Florian Wirtz would thus become the highest-paid player in the history of Bayer Leverkusen and will receive more than 10 million euros per year.

Florentino Pérez remains confident

Despite everything that has happened, Real Madrid haven't lost hope. They believe that Florian Wirtz will eventually leave Bayer Leverkusen to play for the club of his dreams. However, with his contract renewal he is also making it clear that he doesn't plan to leave the Bay Arena immediately.

Florentino Pérez  believes that  Xabi Alonso could be key to Florian Wirtz's future. The president of the white team is aware that if the Tolosarra coach lands on the bench, everything will be much easier.

However, people in  Germany  don't share the same opinion. In ' Kicker ', the same media outlet that takes the German player's renewal for granted, they report that Florian Wirtz will not link his future to that of Xabi Alonso.

We will have to keep an eye on Florian Wirtz's future. The player will have offers despite his renewal, although the chances of him leaving next summer have diminished considerably.
