FC Bayern Munich are preparing to make their first formal offer for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, with negotiations now entering a crucial phase. The German champions remain in close contact with the 22-year-old’s family, and an agreement in principle over personal terms - including salary and contract length - is already in place, reports Florian Plettenberg.

Bayern’s hierarchy are said to be highly confident of securing the deal, viewing Wirtz as a key figure for their future rebuild. However, a final agreement with Bayer Leverkusen has not yet been reached, leaving the door open for rival suitors.

Liverpool and Manchester City are both monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to challenge Bayern's bid. Sources indicate both Premier League giants are planning their own offers and remain optimistic about their chances, particularly if Bayern’s talks with Leverkusen stall.

Wirtz, considered one of the most exciting young talents in Europe, has a 'Plan B' in place should a Bayern move collapse - and that includes a switch to the Premier League. Both Liverpool and City are seen as viable alternatives, offering Champions League football and competitive project pitches to the player’s camp.
