Bayern Munich Pursues Florian Wirtz as Key Transfer Target

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge calls Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz 'the best player in Germany' and reaffirms Bayern's intention to sign him despite his long-term contract.

Former Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed the club's strong interest in signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Rummenigge described Wirtz as 'the best player in Germany' and emphasized the club's consensus on wanting to bring him to Munich.
Wirtz, under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027, has a market value exceeding €100 million and has attracted attention from top European clubs.
Uli Hoeneß, Bayern's honorary president, has expressed hope for the transfer but acknowledged the challenges in securing Wirtz.
Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, currently first and second in the Bundesliga, are set to face off in the Champions League round of 16 next week, a match Rummenigge sees as pivotal for Bayern's European ambitions.
