According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Real have initiated talks with the German midfielder over a possible transfer.
Various reports also claim that the Premier League champions are also keen on the attacking midfielder.
It is believe that the Citizens see Wirtz as a long-term successor for Kevin de Bruyne, whose contract with the club expires next year.
Leverkusen's managing director for sport Simon Rolfes recently revealed the club are not worried about the possibility of losing their talisman next season.
"Florian is an incredibly important player for us. There has been a lot of speculation, but internally - and I've stressed this many times - the dialogue with him and his family is very open and based on trust," Rolfes told Sky Germany.
"The focus has always been on what's good for his development at Bayer 04, so we're not really worried about whether he'll be sold or not. He is here! We want to work with him, use his qualities here and be successful with him."
