Manchester City and Real Madrid have suffered a transfer blow with Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz reportedly only keen to join Bayern Munich.

Wirtz had been touted as a replacement for the outgoing Kevin De Bruyne and the reigning European champions were also interested in the German international.

But he has told Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso he is only open to a move to the newly-crowned German champions, according to Sport Bild.
