So…where does the true lie?
A report from Sport.de is refuting Foot Mercato’s story that Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz are nearing an agreement on personal terms:
On Tuesday, the portal reported an agreement between Florian Wirtz and FC Bayern regarding “fundamental contract terms.” The Munich team was “quite willing to go out on a limb regarding the length and salary,” it said.
However, as RTL/ntv and sport.de learned exclusively upon inquiry from Bayer Leverkusen, there is no truth to the new revelations. The club stated that it was “the 1000th hoax.”
Wirtz is a declared target for FC Bayern, who have been aggressively courting the difference-maker from Bayer Leverkusen for some time . His current contract with last season’s champions is valid until 2027, and a transfer fee in the hundreds of millions of euros is being sought.
The key thing to note here is that the denial came from Bayer Leverkusen — and not the camp of Wirtz. Still, though, we have been around here long enough to know that this could be completely true or completely false at this stage.
So…what do we know? Not much more than we did before any of these reports started to break. Bayern Munich is still a prime contender for Wirtz and Bayer Leverkusen seems desperate to try and keep him.
