A precious gem like Florian Wirtz has generated considerable appetites regarding its future. The attacking midfielder born in 2003 has a solid contract with Bayer Leverkusenwith a deadline set on June 30, 2027, yet there are those who have wanted to snatch it from Xabi Alonso’s hands since last summer. Bayern Munich, in fact, has had its eyes on the German player since his youth days at Cologne and would like to try to reunite the national team duo born together with Jamal Musiala.
Open dialogues
However, according to what was reported by the German TV channel Sports1the club is on good terms and the communication channels are very open with Wirtz regarding the possible renewal of the contract. It is important to highlight that the possible departure of Xabi Alonso in the summer will not affect the future of the 21-year-old. “Either we both stay or we both go” is not an existing theme. Yet if Leverkusen managed to retain the German attacking midfielder they would send a signal of strength to the Basque coach, who could leverage the reasons why he should stay.
What path to take
In any case, regarding the future of Xabi Alonso, a prediction has been made: the coach of Aspirins should make an official statement, as happened last season, towards the end of the season, to give the club certainty about its plans. In football things can change quickly, but after a long time it seemed that Alonso was unshakable, it now seems that the Rhinelanders have more chances than initially thought.
