Florian Birtz has yet to make a decision amid a flurry of interest from several big clubs.
Bayern Munich source Bayern & Germany said on the 24th (Korea time) that "Birtz's father and agent Hans Birtz is looking forward to his son joining Munich. But the player's own choice is the most important."
Born in 2003, Birtz is a member of the German national team. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he can see even winger and second striker. He is highly intelligent in soccer as well as pass capability, and runs matches efficiently. He is also short at 177 centimeters tall, but has good physical balance, which makes it difficult to get pushed around in physical fights.
A former FC Cologne youth player, Birtz joined Leverkusen in the 2019-20 season. He was called up to the first team of the season and scored one goal in nine games. His abilities were immediately put into play from the next season. He scored eight goals and seven assists in 38 games in the 2020-21 season, taking the starting position in one season.
Unlike players who simply glisten and disappear, he showed consistent performance. Notably, he played in 49 matches, including 18 goals and 19 assists, and led his team to win the title without losing. He has scored 15 goals and 12 assists in 41 games this season as well.
Big clubs lined up. Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are the teams that showed interest in Birtz. Among them, Munich approached actively. Rumors of a transfer have already been raised since last month. In March, Germany's TZ explained, "Birtz is still a popular recruitment candidate in Munich. We are already having detailed conversations with the players, and we are trying to make a big deal this summer."
Since then, he has been mentioned as a substitute for Thomas Muller, a legend of the club, after his departure became a fact. "München is openly seeking to recruit Birz," Kicker said. On his recent breakup with Muller, director Max Eberle said, "I can't tell you everything we have planned for the summer now, but if you look at the whole picture, you can understand why we made this decision." He indirectly hinted that his breakup with Muller was related to Birz's recruitment.
Birtz has yet to make up his mind on the move. His father is open to going to Munich. However, the player himself has set the most important criteria for transfer. Bayern & Germany said, "Birtz puts a manager as the most important criterion when deciding which club to transfer to. What matters to him is not just the name of the club. It is the vision and opportunity provided by the coach."
First of all, Munich is making all sorts of preparations for Birtz. The media added, "München is planning to position Birtz as the key and No. 10 position to take responsibility for the future of the team. He can fully afford it financially." 온라인바카라
Meanwhile, Birz's transfer fee is expected to be astronomical. Football Transfer predicted that "Birz's estimated transfer fee is estimated to range from a minimum of 130 million euros (W210 billion) to a maximum of 150 million euros (W240 billion).
