But Sky Deutschland's Christian Falk is reporting: "Bayer Leverkusen’s ideal scenario is to convince Florian Wirtz to sign a new contract. His current contract runs until 2027.

"If the 21y/o wants to leave next summer, Leverkusen are determined to sell him abroad and not to FC Bayern.

"So far, Man City's interest is the most concrete. Also interested: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

"Real Madrid is also in the race, but Leverkusen currently consider a move to the Spanish giants next summer to be unrealistic."
