Florian Wirtz and coach Xabi Alonso headline potential departures from Bayer Leverkusen as speculation mounts regarding the end-of-season shakeup. With Bayern Munich having clinched the title, Leverkusen, poised to finish second, faces a possible exodus of key players and staff.
The dynamic 22-year-old midfielder Wirtz is rumored to be a top target for Bayern Munich. If a transfer materializes, it could bring Leverkusen upwards of 100 million euros, contingent on media reports predicting Wirtz's preference for Bayern.
Coach Xabi Alonso's future also remains in question as he declines committing to Germany for another season. Reports hint at a potential move to Real Madrid, should Carlo Ancelotti leave. Furthermore, key players like Jonathan Tah and Patrik Schick are likely on their way out, adding to the upheaval.
