Fernandes is also thirty years old. It is hardly surprising that Florian Wirtz and other talented attacking midfielders have been linked to Manchester United. Florian Plettenberg claims that the Red Devils intend to sign the German international, who is also wanted by a number of other elite teams, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal.
The renowned Sky Sports journalist went on to say that Bayer Leverkusen wants to sell Wirtz overseas, therefore transferring to Bayern is out of the question. However, the Bundesliga winners believe that Wirtz’s move to Real Madrid next summer is not feasible.
Last season, Wirtz helped Xabi Alonso’s team win a domestic double by scoring 18 goals and dishing out 20 assists across all competitions. The 21-year-old playmaker, who is valued at approximately £99.9 million, has personally assisted on five goals in six Bundesliga games this season, but Leverkusen is presently sixth in the standings.
