Overview

• Bayern Munich and Florian Wirtz have reportedly agreed preliminary terms for a transfer in 2025 or 2026, but Bayer Leverkusen’s approval remains crucial.
• Leverkusen holds strong leverage with Wirtz’s contract running until 2027, making any transfer contingent on their agreement.
• Bayern would need to pay approximately €140 million this summer, though delaying the transfer to 2026 could lower the fee to just over €100 million.
• Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is mediating between the clubs to address strained relations and facilitate a potential agreement.
• Bayer Leverkusen’s leadership considers Wirtz’s departure a 50:50 possibility, with no immediate resolution expected in the coming days.
