Arsenal are set to battle Manchester City and Real Madrid for the services of Bayer Leverkusen attacking sensation Florian Wirtz.
According to a report from Sport BILD via Sport Witness, Arsenal are keen on acquiring the services of Florian Wirtz, and they are willing to rival Manchester City and Real Madrid in the race for his signature. The Gunners are fully committed to the idea of bringing him to North London, and they are willing to fork out the required €150 million to make it happen.
Wirtz joined Bayer Leverkusen at the start of 2020, and he got promoted to the first team a few months down the line. He has gone from strength to strength over the years, establishing himself as a key player for both club and country.
The 21-year-old was in sensational form last season as he helped Xabi Alono’s team win the Bundesliga title and the DFB Pokal. He has carried that form into the new campaign and already has six goals and an assist in his seven league outings.
While he is focused on doing his best for Leverkusen this season, the German international is unlikely to stay at the club beyond the summer of 2025. Multiple top clubs are closely watching Wirtz, who is considered to be one of the best young talents in the world of football.
European giants keen on signing Wirtz
European giants Real Madrid and Manchester City are keen on his signature. Los Blancos are always on the lookout for players who can help them take the next step, and Wirtz is an exceptional talent they do not want to miss out on.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, they are in desperate need to bring in someone who can replace Kevin De Bruyne in the long run. The German international can surely help their cause. Given the kind of potential he has, he could be their next big star once Kevin De Bruyne calls time on his spell at the Etihad.
Arsenal to push hard for Florian Wirtz
Arsenal are also in the mix, and they are looking to rival Manchester City and Real Madrid for Wirtz’s signature. The Gunners have followed the attacking midfielder since he was a youngster at Cologne, and they remain huge admirers of him.
While they were not able to secure his services back in the day as he was not open to a move to England, he seeks a move to a bigger club as he wants to win the UEFA Champions League and the Ballon d’Or.
Arsenal have competed for the league title in the last two seasons, and they surely have an exciting project under Mikel Arteta which can help Wirtz fulfil his desire. The Gunners are willing to go all out to sign the 21-year-old, and they are ready to spend as much as €150 million to complete the move.
