Wirtz Florian
Xabi Alonso
Wohin geht Florian Wirtz (21)?
Die Fußball-Welt wartet gespannt auf die Antwort. Für die Bayern soll er trotz Festgeld-Konto-Problematik und Sparmaßnahmen das oberste Transferziel sein. Doch auch die Konkurrenz lässt nicht locker. Wie „TBR“ berichtet, macht sich vor allem Manchester City große Hoffnungen.
[–>Der Grund: Die Skyblues haben dem Leverkusen-Star ein Versprechen gegeben, das ihn überzeugen soll: Die garantierte Nachfolge von Kevin de Bruyne (33)! Wirtz soll davon beeindruckt sein.
Alle wollen Wirtz
Dabei ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, dass der Bayer-Star ein weiteres Jahr bei der Werkself bleibt. Seit Wochen liegt ihm ein Angebot zur Vertragsverlängerung über 2027 hinaus vor, das eine Ausstiegsklausel (rund 125 Mio. ab 2026) beinhaltet.
Am Montag sagte Bayer-Boss Fernando Carro (60): „Ich rechne damit, dass er bleibt.“
Welt-Star Wirtz hat die Qual der Wahl …
Vor allem ein Faktor soll entscheidend sein: der Trainer. Deswegen wird Real Madrid als Favorit gehandelt – Leverkusen-Trainer Xabi Alonso (43) könnte dort im Sommer die Nachfolge von Carlo Ancelotti antreten.
Mit Pep hat City allerdings auch einen absoluten Top-Coach. Und in Manchester ist man offenbar sicher, dass der Wirtz nun überzeugt habe. Obendrauf würde der Mittelfeldspieler noch ein Mega-Gehalt kassieren.
City plant im Sommer einen großen Umbruch!
In der laufenden Saison blieben die Cityzens hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Der Noch-Meister wird am Wochenende wahrscheinlich von Liverpool abgelöst und hat mit dem Titelkampf nichts zu tun. In der Champions League flogen sie in den Play-Offs gegen Real Madrid raus.
Pep nach dem Spiel: „Nichts währt ewig. Wir haben einige Spieler in der Gruppe, die eine Ära geprägt haben.“

Vor allem das offensive Mittelfeld soll zu alter Stärke zurückfinden. Sollte Phil Foden zu seiner alten Form zurückfinden und Wirtz womöglich dazu kommen, hätte City im Mittelfeld ein starkes Trio – unterstützt durch Oscar Bobb.
Bevor es so weit ist, kann City aber noch die Chance auf einen Titel wahren: Am Sonntag treffen Pep & Co. im Halbfinale des FA Cups auf Nottingham Forest.

Shedeur Sanders selected by Browns in NFL Draft: ‘Thankful for the opportunity for people to actually see the real me’
Shedeur Sanders finally found an NFL home.After a winding evaluation process that cast him as one of the NFL draft’s biggest mysteries — and following a huge slide that saw him bypassed by multiple QB-needy franchises — the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was chosen in Saturday’s fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Taken No. 144 overall, the pick comes following a draft slide that stunned even some of his most critical talent evaluators in the league.Sanders jumped into a pool with his socks on in celebration:"We live by our board," Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media after the pick. "We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft. Really the acquisition cost was pretty light and it's a […]
