Barcelona is enjoying a strong run of form and is steadily progressing toward clinching the La Liga title. The thrilling 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo brought joy to both players and fans alike.
According to the German newspaper ‘‘Bild‘‘, Hansi Flick is an avid admirer of Florian Wirtz, whom he regards as one of the best players in the world. He is fully convinced that Wirtz will continue to develop in the coming years. For this reason, Flick is eager to include him in his future sporting project, even if it means moving on from Gavi, who is still struggling to regain his form following a knee injury.
Real Madrid had previously monitored Wirtz but never seriously pursued a deal, largely due to his high market value estimated at €130 million, and a contract that runs until 2027. This makes any potential transfer nearly impossible at this stage, especially given Madrid’s already star-studded midfield and the financial strain of such a large investment. Additionally, Wirtz is reportedly demanding a high salary.
Nevertheless, the season is entering its final stretch, and many variables could yet impact the future of numerous players. This uncertainty applies to all clubs: even players under contract may request to leave, prompting their teams to accept reasonable offers rather than retain them against their will.
For now, Wirtz appears in no hurry, fully aware of his value in the transfer market. Sooner or later, he will have the chance to join one of Europe’s elite clubs. Until then, he is enjoying his time at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has emerged as the team’s undisputed leader and made history last season.
