Leverkusen is difficult to keep Wilz, at least 150 million euros

The Bundesliga transfer market has recently set off a huge wave. The game between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen has entered a critical stage around the future ownership of 22-year-old German international Florian Werz. According to the latest disclosure of "Photo Biography", this transfer tug-of-war that lasted for several months has formed a complex situation of struggle between multiple parties.

Leverkusen's management has officially established a minimum psychological expectation of 150 million euros, which set a historical price record for local Bundesliga players. It is worth noting that this astronomical figure is not a simple fixed transfer fee, but a composite trading plan with multiple trigger conditions. According to insiders, the transaction structure will include:

basic transfer fee of approximately 110 million euros

Champions League qualification standard bonus (about 15 million euros)

Bundesliga/Champions League championship floating clause (up to 20 million euros)

Individual award trigger mechanism (Golden Globes Shortlisted, etc.)

This step-by-step payment structure not only guarantees Leverkusen's basic returns, but also provides buyers with risk buffer space. Manchester City's continued attention has become an important variable. According to English media, Blue Moon is ready to match the basic quotation, which may force Bayern to increase its bidding chips.

Player salary level is also undercurrent. Leverkusen has issued a historical contract to retain the core: a five-year contract, an annual salary of 12 million euros after tax and a 125 million termination clause effective in 2026. This offer has a triple jump compared to its existing salary, but there is still a gap compared to the wealthy families.

Bayern faces more significant salary pressure, and Werz's team requires matching the 25 million euros maximum salary that Musiara has recently renewed. If achieved, the young midfielder will directly rank among the top five Bayern salary sequences, which poses a severe test for the club's salary structure management. According to local Munich media analysis, Bayern may adopt a flexible plan of "basic salary + performance bonus" to meet players' demands and control financial risks.

Contract effectiveness becomes a key factor affecting the direction of transactions. Wirtz's existing contract is until June 2027, but the summer window of 2026 will usher in an important node: if the contract is renewed this summer, the termination clause will be activated in 2026 to maintain the existing contract. The initiative in negotiations in 2025 will be tilted towards buyers' depreciation pressure brought by the countdown on free transfers

Wilz's attitude is becoming clearer, and he has publicly expressed his yearning for higher competitive platforms many times. Its agent team has recently been exposed to the actions of several top clubs, suggesting players tend to seek breakthroughs this summer. But Leverkusen Sports General Manager Rollfers still emphasized: "We respect the wishes of players, but we must ensure that the club's interests are maximized. "

It is worth noting that Bayern's new coach Kompany's tactical adaptability assessment of Werz will become the technical support point for the final implementation of the transaction. Manchester City coach Guardiola's preference for technical midfielders has injected more variables into this competition.

The next three weeks are regarded as a decisive time window, and all parties will conduct substantive negotiations after key nodes such as the confirmation of the Champions League qualification and financial fairness review. Regardless of the result, this game involving the restructuring of the Bundesliga record transfer fee and the maximum salary system will become the most sensational transfer in European football this summer.
