Bayern Munich has not said its last word and has an X factor in the Florian Wirtz file!

Young nugget of Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival in winter 2020 from Cologne, Florian Wirtz (21 years old) has established himself as the new phenomenon of German football in recent seasons. Once again performing well this season under the orders of Xabi Alonso, he has 12 goals and 8 goals in 25 matches. In the sights of the best clubs in the world like Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, the German international (29 caps, 6 goals) finally seemed to be banking on continuity by wanting to sign up for an additional season with the Werkself and extending for one year his lease which binds him to the German team.

For the moment, no official announcement has been made regarding an extension of Florian Wirtz's lease and moreover, this option is not yet relevant according to Sky Sports. In this situation, Bayern Munich intends to rush into the breach and try its luck to try to afford Florian Wirtz. Still active in a file initiated for several years, the Bavarian club is still in contact with the family of Florian Wirtz and even the boss of the club Uli Hoeneß has become involved in the file.

Uli Hoeneß as X factor

The 73-year-old honorary president of the German club has close contacts with the Pulheim native's entourage and could be Bayern Munich's X factor in this matter. Wanting to bring him in this summer, the Bavarian club knows that this will not be easy and is working to conclude the file no later than the summer of 2026, just after the World Cup which will take place in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
