Verbal agreement almost reached between Bayern and Wirtz
As the departure of manager Xabi Alonso continues to look all the more likely, the chances of Wirtz leaving North Rhine-Westphalia continue to rise.
With record Bundesliga champions Bayern München absolutely desperate to seal a deal for arguably Germany's biggest talent, reports suggest that representatives of both Wirtz and Bayern are close to reaching an agreement on personal terms.
Manchester City still carry an interest in Wirtz with Kevin De Bruyne's confirmed departure at the end of the season, however, Bayern are now considered to be in pole position.
Despite this, City, alongside Real Madrid, have not given up hope, as it remains to be seen as to whether Bayern can reach an agreement with Leverkusen, with Die Werkself carrying their own ambitions of extending his contract.
