The future of German star Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen's player, remains shrouded in uncertainty as speculation continues and major European clubs show interest in signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to the German newspaper "Bild", there are four scenarios available for the 21-year-old player, the most notable being staying for an additional season with Leverkusen, as the club seeks to renew his contract until 2028 with a release clause of 125 million euros that will activate from the summer of 2026. If the player refuses to extend, he will be sold for at least 150 million euros.

Wirtz's decision primarily depends on his individual ambitions, especially winning the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or, which places Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich at the top of the list of clubs interested in him.

Real Madrid will finalize its position on the deal during May, especially if Xabi Alonso, the current Leverkusen coach, takes over the royal team next season, which could enhance Wirtz's chances of moving to Santiago Bernabéu.

Meanwhile, Manchester City appears to be the most serious contender so far, as reports revealed a meeting between Pep Guardiola and the player, during which he explained his technical plans and Wirtz's role as a future replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, with the club ready to pay 150 million euros immediately and offer a hefty annual salary of 25 million euros.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich faces greater challenges; despite the player's father's preference for a move to the Bavarian club, the strained relationship between Bayern's management and Leverkusen, along with the latter's desire not to strengthen a local rival, may hinder the completion of the deal.
