Arsenal Faces Stiff Competition for €150m Target

Arsenal Unlikely to Pursue Wirtz

Arsenal has expressed interest in Florian Wirtz, but the club is unlikely to make a formal bid for the Bayer Leverkusen star next summer.

While Arsenal has closely monitored Wirtz’s development, the club is not expected to match the astronomical transfer fee that Leverkusen is demanding.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City are considered more likely suitors for Wirtz, who has showcased impressive talent in the Bundesliga.

The 21-year-old has rejected offers to leave Leverkusen this summer and is committed to honoring his contract.

Arsenal’s focus is expected to shift towards signing a striker next summer, potentially with a club-record transfer fee. The emergence of Ethan Nwaneri has also given Arsenal more options in their attacking midfield.

Wirtz’s future remains uncertain, but his impressive performances have attracted interest from top European clubs.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City are all vying for his signature, while Arsenal may face challenges in competing for his services.
