They lead Bayern Munich by eight points, having tied them 2-2 on the road and defeated them at home this season. They appear to be headed toward ending the 11-year Bavarian hegemony in Germany. And while Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong, with their 17 and 13 direct goal contributions thus far this season, as well as Victor Boniface, the team's leading scorer with 10 goals, will receive a lot of credit, the true star of the group is 20-year-old Florian Wirtz.
After a protracted absence due to an ACL injury in 2023, the German player quickly established himself in the league, finishing with 17 games, six assists, and a goal. Naturally, all of the best teams in Europe, notably one Real Madrid, are quite interested in him. And as per a report from AS, Wirtz’ main sponsor, Adidas, are pushing for the player to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2025.
