If this figure is reached, it would establish a new record for the highest transfer fee in both Bundesliga and German football history. Bayern Munich, who have held a long-standing interest in Wirtz, faces uncertainty regarding their ability to meet this substantial price. Bild newspaper reports that the Bavarian side is planning to offer a maximum of 100 million euros this summer. Should Bayern's offer fall short of the €150 million expectation, Wirtz is reportedly open to the idea of remaining with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026.
Meanwhile, Premier League giant Manchester City is reported to be in a leading position in the transfer race. According to Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri, an agreement in principle has allegedly been reached between Leverkusen and City after weeks of negotiations.
