Florian Wirtz, the German midfielder often linked with Real Madrid, is also attracting interest from at least three other top European clubs. He aims to make a move in 2025, with his transfer fee estimated at around €150 million.
Strengthening the central midfield. This is one of the main objectives that Real Madrid have set for themselves for the next season. The team is looking to fill the gap left by Toni Kroos, who has recently departed, and is also expected to lose another key player, Luka Modric, next summer unless there are any surprises.
Among the midfielders who are already on the Real Madrid radar, Florian Wirtz stands out without a doubt. The young German footballer, only 21 years old, shines with his own light at Bayer Leverkusen, a team with which he has accumulated 159 official matches (47 goals and 51 assists) and with which he won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal last season.
Rival Bids and Price Tag
As reported by journalist Christian Falk, Real Madrid is not the only club interested in Wirtz. If they decide to pursue him, they will face stiff competition from top teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.
Wirtz is open to a new challenge in the summer of 2025, but the main hurdle will be negotiating with Bayer Leverkusen, who, according to Bild, are expected to demand at least €150 million for their star player. His current contract runs until June 2027.
