I believe Real Madrid Madrid was also linked with Florian Wirtz, it will be difficult for Arsenal to convince him to pick them over a club side with football heritage like Real Madrid. I will be happy if Arsenal can get a deal done with Bayern Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz, he is a world class player at 21 and has many years in his career to play. I’m not sure he has reached performance peak yet. I hope Arsenal can bargain a deal for Wirtz because if they can he will elevate Arsenal’s attack to another level. You can expect some exciting times ahead for the Premier League that's for sure.
Real Madrid is rumored to sign Florian Wirtz since the previous transfer windows. But Real Madrid wants to focus on signing a striker, Real Madrid also already Bellingham who has the same position as an attacking midfielder. However, it seems Real Madrid still continues to try singing Florian Wirtz. Ancelotti needs another midfielder to improve Real Madrid game. However, I'm not sure Florian Wirtz will consider to leave Leverkusen as long as Xabi Alonso stays in Leverkusen. But if Xabi Alonso moves to Real Madrid, I really believe that Florian Wirtz will follow Xabi Alonso.
Yep, it seems difficult for Arsenal to compete with Man City and Real Madrid. Especially Leverkusen wants to get a huge money from his transfer. It is rumored the minimum price is around €150m.

Florian Wirtz's survival with Leverkusen is also inseparable from Xabi Alonso's survival in this team in my opinion. because in terms of his game he is very comfortable implementing what Xabi Alonso wants, the results we already know that it brought them to become champions in the Bundesliga and also without feeling defeated.
I agree with you, if Xabi Alonso goes to another team, then most likely he will leave, if not following in Xabi's footsteps then at least he will leave Leverkusen. because his abilities have been eyed by many big teams.
