Real Madrid is still considering the €110 million Bayer Leverkusen star.
Some of the top young players in the world are currently being assembled by Real Madrid. Without a doubt, Los Blancos have an eye for identifying the greatest players in the world, who they can nurture at the club to become world-class players who can lead the team into the future.
Early in their careers, players like Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo became the superstars we know today. But occasionally, the club also attracts young people who have already made their mark somewhere else.
Prior to signing with Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni had already proven themselves to be elite players. Then, in the capital of Spain, they kept getting better.
Similar to Bellingham’s time at Borussia Dortmund, Florian Wirtz has made a name for himself as the best player in the Bundesliga at the moment. And it seems Real Madrid has taken notice of him.
Real Madrid is still considering the €110 million Bayer Leverkusen star.Florian Plettenberg tweeted that Bayern Munich’s primary goal for 2025 is Wirtz. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, and other teams are still interested. The young player and his family saw the Bavarian club as a stopgap before a move abroad, which he expects to do later, so if they can afford his transfer fee, they stand a decent chance of signing him the next year.
The name Wirtz has frequently been connected to a move to Real Madrid in the past. While Xabi Alonso’s team is still in the running for the Europa League and the DFB-Pokal, the 20-year-old has been a standout player for Bayer Leverkusen for years and appears to be only getting better as he helped them win their first-ever Bundesliga title this season and has them on a path to a potentially historic treble.
To persuade Bayer Leverkusen to let go of Wirtz, a transfer fee of at least €110 million may be required. It is anticipated that he will play with the team through the upcoming season before choosing his next course of action in 2025.
