Sky Sports reported that Bayern Munich has a relative advantage over Real Madrid in the race to sign Florian Wirtz, and the secret is in a card that the Bavarian club will try to exploit.
Wirtz’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen still extends for another three years, but it is expected that he will leave the Bay Arena at the end of the current season.
Spanish media had previously confirmed that Real Madrid had chosen Wirtz to be Luka Modric’s successor in the midfield of the royal club, despite the fierce competition that awaits him to sign the player.
Wirtz’s contract with Leverkusen does not include a penalty clause, and therefore anyone wishing to sign the player must negotiate with Bayer Leverkusen first, which has set an initial price of 150 million euros for the talks.
According to Sky, Bayern Munich will tempt Leverkusen with a card that Real Madrid cannot offer, which is the inclusion of the highly promising player Paul Wanner in the deal, in addition to a large sum of money.
Wanner is one of the most important young players in the world at the moment, and is having a fantastic season despite being on loan from Heidenheim from Bayern Munich, where he scored 5 goals and made 2 assists in 9 matches in all competitions.
The 18-year-old is seen as the biggest talent in Germany in the future, and is famous for his superior skill and his left foot that never misses the goal.
In the event that Wirtz is swapped for Wanner, Leverkusen will hardly feel the loss of its most important stars, in addition to making a lot of money, so the deal will be a win-win for all parties.
