The Manchester City team is moving quickly to secure Wirtz's services, despite Bayern Munich being the favourites to sign him. Bayern would have to pay an additional €50 million if they sign Wirtz, as they are a direct competitor to Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz prefers to stay in Germany, according to sources.
Real Madrid is also interested in Wirtz, with Xabi Alonso expected to take over as their coach soon. The transfer fee is reportedly €100 million, which Bayer Leverkusen has agreed to with Manchester City.
