Florian Wirtz escapes Real Madrid / Real Madrid

Florian Wirtz has become one of the most sought-after footballers of the moment, but not everyone believes that his destiny should be Real Madrid. Lothar Matthäus, a legend of German football and current analyst at Sky 90, has expressed his opinion on the future of the talented attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen and recommends that he continue under the guidance of Xabi Alonso.

The former Bayern Munich player believes that Wirtz still has room to grow in the Bundesliga and making the leap to the white team might not be the most convenient at this point in his career. "If I were him, I wouldn't go to Real Madrid," Matthäus stated, arguing that the young German can still evolve if he stays in Leverkusen. Additionally, he raised the possibility that the midfielder could end up at Bayern, although he also doubts that this option is the player's preference.

There will be fierce competition for Wirtz in the upcoming market

On the other hand, Uli Hoeneß, a historic figure at Bayern, has acknowledged that Wirtz will have numerous options in the next market, with clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich themselves vying for his signing. However, he also does not rule out the possibility that the player may decide to stay at Leverkusen at least until 2026 when the World Cup will be held in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

The debate about his future is ongoing, but the recommendation from some influential voices is clear: not to rush into a departure and avoid a move that could hinder his growth. With a contract until 2027, Wirtz has the final say on what his next destination will be.
