'Bild' reports that Newcastle United, under their new Saudi-led owner group, is interested in signing one of the Bundesliga biggest talents, Florian Wirtz, from Bayer Leverkusen.

Florian Wirtz is German football's sensation this season. The 18-year-old Bayer Leverkusen player is rumored with a move away from Germany. Even Real Madrid asked about his current situation

A new admirer in the Premier League just emerged for the German midfielder. It is the richest club in the world, Newcastle United, which is looking to rebuild its squad following the Saudi-led takeover

The 'Magpies' want to challenge for titles and the German midfielder joins a transfer list, which includes Lacazette, Coady, Ozil or Luis Diaz. Despite Newcastle's interest, it seems like Wirtz won't be leaving any time soon

Wirtz's contract lasts until 2026, and it seems too early to move away from Germany. His father also explained that his son wants to play a couple more seasons at his current club
