Three European giant clubs compete for German genius midfielder

The football transfer market in midsummer is always full of restlessness, but the focus this year seems to have been on the young German genius Florian Werz. The 22-year-old midfield commander proved his value with performances, but also caused a collective pursuit of European giants due to the vague future destination. Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carlo's statement that denied all quotation rumors did not calm the outside world's speculation, but instead made the battle more confusing.

The real game under the media carnival

From "Birds" to Sky Sports, reports from German and British media pushed Werz to the forefront. Bayern Munich's advantage in the water has been repeatedly mentioned, but Leverkusen's official strong denied receiving any offer, making the argument of "imminent signing" subtle. At the same time, the names of Manchester City and Real Madrid are always interspersed with - "Blue Moon" urgently needs to find De Bruyne's successor, while the La Liga giants are waiting for possible changes in Xavi Alonso's future coaching.

Wilz's personal choice occupies a subtle weight in this game. Although his father, as an agent, has been frequently exposed to meeting former Bayern executives and has even been labeled as a "Bayern fan", the player himself prefers to follow the pace of his idol Tony Cross to join Real Madrid. This division between family will and personal ideals makes transfer negotiations full of dramatic tension.

The possibility of staying in a pharmaceutical factory

The statement of the Leverkusen executive team may be the calmest voice in this game. Carlo sets the probability of staying at the team at 50%, while sports director Rollfies slightly raises the number to 60%. Their consensus is: the club hopes that Wiltz will continue to grow in the new season, and does not deny the attractiveness of the giants. This kind of room for leeway is not only a respect for players, but also a preset of possible sky-high transactions.

For Leverkusen, Wilz is not only about competitive strength, but also a potential bargaining chip for the club to break the Bundesliga transfer fee record (150 million euros estimate). When other league giants wield checks, pharmaceutical companies need to weigh not only the financial gains, but also the club brand effect of "making superstars" - they have witnessed Havertz's departure and now also hope to set a new benchmark.

Wrestling and restraint between giants

Bayern Munich appears to be particularly cautious in the competition. Although regarded by the outside world as the most likely next player, the Bundesliga overlord's resistance to high transfer fees is surprising. This is in sharp contrast to Manchester City's decisiveness - Blue Moon is not only willing to match the price, but even plans to build a new tactical system around Wilz. However, the uncertainty of Guardiola's contract is only one year away, casting a shadow on the potential deal.

Real Madrid has adopted a smarter wait-and-see strategy. If Rodrigo can be sold this summer for funds, La Liga giants will have room to trigger the Wiltz deal. This "late-up" tactic accurately grasps the player's preferences and Leverkusen's time pressure: the pharmaceutical factory needs to complete the transaction before the summer of 2025, otherwise it may face a passive situation where Wirtz's contract is only one year left.

Balance between family bonds and career aspirations

Wilz's father's influence has always been an invisible variable in transfer negotiations. As a hardcore Bayern fan, his personal relationship with former Bayern executives is interpreted as a key factor in promoting the transfer. But when this family preference meets players' yearning for a bigger stage (especially Real Madrid, which is more competitive in the Champions League), the balance between family affection and career development becomes shaky.

It is worth noting that Wiltz's personal relationship with Bayern player Musiara may become a variable. The tacit understanding between the two in the German national team made the outside world full of imagination about the "Temini Combination", but this ultimately cannot match the players' team's consideration of career planning. As Wirtz said during the European Cup: "The focus now is on the game, and I will talk about other things later." The true value of supernova

Putting aside the transfer farce, Wirtz's competitive value needs no further description. In the just-concluded season, he led Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga with 10 goals and 13 assists, and his performance of 6 goals and 1 assist in 9 games in the Champions League proves his big scene attributes. What is even more shocking is the influence beyond the data: his average touch, key passes and pushes are among the top in the Bundesliga, and he is a perfect template for the core of an all-round offense.

When people compare him with De Bruyne of his age, Wilz shows not only a technical advantage, but also a tactical wisdom beyond his age. As an anonymous scout commented: "He is not an enhanced version of De Bruyne, but more like a combination of Cross and Muller." This unique technical characteristic is the core reason why many wealthy families are willing to pay premiums.

There is still enough time to close the transfer window, but Werz's choice may affect the power structure of the entire European football world. For young players, this is both a critical turning point in their careers and the ultimate test of their team’s strategic vision. Perhaps as CEO Leverkusen said: "When we are ready, the answer will naturally be revealed."
