Berlin: German Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich is close to signing of German superstar Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen.
Over the past weeks, several reports have mentioned an agreement between the Bavarians, the German international, and his managing father, Hans-Joachim, while deal-making activities continue behind the scenes.
Due to the size of the transfer, reportedly between 120 million and 150 million euros, Bayern Munich, the 2020 treble winner, is reportedly considering involving supplier and shareholder Adidas, which owns 8.33 percent of the club's shares.
Since German law excludes direct involvement regarding a transfer fee, compensation for personal rights and an update to Wirtz's existing supplier contract might speed things up.
The sports goods manufacturer is said to see Wirtz as one of the company's future figureheads and is expecting a boost in its shirt sales figures.
