The 20-year-old star is playing extremely well for Leverkusen. He has been in coach Xebi Alonso’s starting lineup in 11 matches since the beginning of the season in all competitions. Arriving at BayArena in 2020 at the age of 17, Wirtz has progressed and matured significantly through each season and each match. He is currently considered a “talisman” and “treasure” of Leverkusen.
Thanks to Wirtz, Alonso’s Leverkusen are having an impressive start in the Bundesliga , surpassing both Bayern and Dortmund to lead the rankings with 19 points after 7 rounds. Therefore, MU scouts are extremely impressed with Wirtz’s performance and the leaders of the Red Devils of Manchester are willing to spend a lot of money to convince this 20-year-old midfielder to join Old Trafford in the summer of 2024.
According to Sport Witness, Leverkusen are ready to sell their young star next summer for a huge profit. If MU agrees to spend about 75 million pounds for this teenage star, they will certainly receive the green light from the German team.
However, MU is not the only team paying special attention to Wirtz. Currently, Man City, Barcelona, Bayern and Newcastle are also closely following the 20-year-old star’s every move. Compared to the above competitors, MU is at a disadvantage not only because of its current poor performance but also because the Red Devils of Manchester are in a “mess” when the process of changing ownership is still at a dead end.
Considered one of the best young talents today, if Wirtz comes to Old Trafford in the summer of 2024, this will be a big boost for MU, especially in restructuring the midfield.
