Chelsea rival Real Madrid and Barcelona for Wirtz

Bayer Leverkusen teen Florian Wirtz is attracting interest from across Europe.

The 18 year-old attacker is being watched by Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona, reports ESPN.

The teen already boasts four caps with Germany and Bayer are desperate to keep hold of the youngster.

Bayer chief Rudi Voller recently said: "The guy is only 18 years old. Even though he will only be 21 in three years, I am very sure that he will play for us in the 2022/2023 season."

Wirtz has a deal with Bayer to 2026.
