The German club is pushing to sign the Leverkusen forward.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich are going head-to-head for the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.

Bayern Munich are planning an initial offer of about €100 million (£84 million or $112 million) for the forward, which is probably going to be turned down because it doesn’t satisfy Bayer Leverkusen’s requirements.

In the event that Leverkusen do not reduce their expectations this summer, Bayern are prepared to wait until next year for the 22-year-old. However, on the other hand, City get closer to signing the German star.

The player has not yet decided what he will do next. The idea of him joining Bayern excites his family, but Wirtz is equally eager to play for City or Real Madrid overseas, reports suggest.

Although City are prepared to fight all the way as they try to recruit the best players to the Premier League, Bayern’s personal terms exceeds the one made by City.

If Florian Wirtz, the star player for Bayer Leverkusen, moves to Bavaria this summer, Bayern have already reportedly decided how to employ him.

Jamal Musiala would go out on the wing, a position he has excelled at over the years, and Wirtz could take over the attacking midfield spot behind Harry Kane.

Wirtz, a centre playmaker behind the striker and occasionally sliding deeper, is slated to start at number 10 for Bayern. Jamal Musiala, meanwhile, would use his dribbling skills to play on the wing. In a flexible 4-2-3-1 lineup, it is generally possible for Wirtz and Musiala to switch positions.

If accurate, the offensive foursome would appear to be Michael Olise at right flank, Wirtz at attacking midfield, Musiala at left wing, and Kane at striker. This would be a very dangerous lineup, especially considering how easily players like Musiala, Wirtz, and Kane can switch positions.

Bayern Munich predicted line up if Wirtz joins (4-2-3-1):

Neuer; Stanisic, Upamecano, Kim/Tah, Davies; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Olise, Wirtz, Musiala; Kane

This raises the question of how much Bayern Munich will do to keep Leroy Sané on the team, even if he will just play from the bench. What would you think if Bayern Munich launched their attack like this on the first day of the upcoming season?
