Florian Wirtz is a highly sought-after young talent at Bayer Leverkusen, and his future could hinge on coach Xabi Alonso's potential departure. His loyalty to Leverkusen is influenced by Alonso's presence, but with Alonso being a candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, Wirtz may explore options elsewhere. Several elite clubs, including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, have shown interest in the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, whose valuation is around £87 million. Thus, Wirtz's future looks uncertain as major clubs prepare to pursue him.
"TBR Football understands that Florian Wirtz is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer should Xabi Alonso depart the German club."
"A major factor in the 21-year-old opting to shun interest from elsewhere to stay with the German club is Alonso's presence as head coach, however, that could be changing in 2025."
"Should the Spanish coach depart the Bundesliga champions in the summer that could leave the door open for Wirtz's departure with many major clubs queuing up to sign him."
"Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also pushing increasingly hard to land the attacking midfielder with the latter wanting to pair him with his German international colleague Jamal Musiala."
