Not only in Germany, but around the world, Xabi Alonso ‘s Bayer Leverkusen is still a phenomenon. After drawing 2-2 against Azeri Qarabag in the 92nd minute, the German side have not lost a single game all season. There have been several matches like this last one in the Europa League, but for a team, in the middle of March, to still not know defeat, speaks highly of the footballers and their coach.
For this reason the name of Xabi Alonso covers so many covers and for this reason the footballers who are shining the most during the current season at the BayArena are clear contenders to change airs to a first level team this coming summer. In this sense, Jeremie Frimpong, Victor Boniface or Alejandro Grimaldo have already been the protagonists of several market rumors, but the one who leads in this aspect is Florian Wirtz .
The German footballer has long been one of the great pearls of the European scene. Precisely for this reason, it is no surprise to anyone that a large number of clubs are bidding to acquire his services . And in this fight is Barça , which follows very closely in the footsteps of the current Bayer Leverkusen player.
The Barcelona club has been working for some time to strengthen the squad, not only in the long term, but also immediately. And although Wirtz ‘s name has been orbiting Can Barça’s offices constantly, the club’s current financial situation makes it almost impossible for the German to end up wearing the Blaugrana shirt. In fact, the only problem Barça would face would be convincing the German club, because the player is more than willing to sign for the Blaugrana.
Wirtz himself has never hidden his desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt . In fact, he has even acknowledged it as one of his biggest dreams as a football player. Now, after having amazed half the world, Wirtz has the possibility of leaving the Bay Arena to land at the Camp Nou with the help of Xavi Hernández . The coach from Terrassa would have given his approval to the operation despite not continuing next year on the culer bench.
But, despite the endorsement of the Barça legend, Wirtz considers himself an almost impossible dream. The high price is impossible for the sports management of Barça to deal with: right now Wirtz has a market value of 100 million euros, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt. In addition, with the performances of the German midfielder, Bayer Leverkusen have many arguments to even ask for more money for a player who has already attracted the interest of all the big European clubs.
