Eager to strengthen Real Madrid’s midfield, Carlo Ancelotti would pinch Florian Wirtz, one of Bayer Leverkusen’s top prospects. A file that would hold the attention of several European leaders.
With Toni Kroos , Casemiro and Luka Modric , Real Madrid have reached European heights, but the club merengue midfielder is aging, forcing management to look into new players to rejuvenate this area of play . Eduardo Camavinga was recruited by Real Madrid during the last summer transfer window while Federico Valverde , passed through Castilla , has managed to win his place over the years. But the leaders are still keen to inject new blood and take a close interest in Florian Wirtz, according to information released by Bild in October. A track confirmed in Spain.
Florian Wirtz, Kroos' successor at Real?
According to OK Diario, Real Madrid has indeed fallen under the spell of Florian Wirtz . At 18, the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder has put on a series of good performances to the point of being called up for selection by Hansi Flick since September. Merengue leaders are closely monitoring his progress and would see him as the potential successor to Toni Kroos , who will turn 32 in January. The good relations between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen could allow Florentino Pérez to obtain Florian Wirtz at an advantageous price whereas the latter is already estimated at 45M €, but it will nevertheless be necessary to get rid of the competition, as Bayern Munich , Chelsea and both Manchester would also be on the spot.
