Wirtz, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, is now considered ready for a high-profile move following a remarkable recovery from a serious knee injury.
Die Roten have been strategically preparing for months, with the club's interest dating back to when Wirtz was still rehabilitating.
Bayern's patience appears to be paying off as they prepare to offer over 100 million euro to secure the 21-year-old's signature.
While Real Madrid have expressed interest, their negotiations have shown limited progress, allowing Bayern to surge ahead in the race.
Leverkusen, keen to avoid strengthening a domestic rival, would prefer to sell Wirtz outside the Bundesliga, boosting Real's chances.
Despite interest from top European clubs, Wirtz's final decision appears to be leaning towards Bayern Munich, where he could continue his development in a winning environment.
The transfer battle for Wirtz is expected to heat up as the summer window approaches, with the Bavarians seemingly in pole position.
