Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on Florian Wirtz because they think he will be the best player to replace Luka Modric.
David Alonso recently told AS that the club is being careful and secretive about their approach to this possible signing. Even though it’s not an emergency, replacing Modric has become important for the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid has been interested in Wirtz, the young star from Bayer Leverkusen, for a long time. The club has been keeping a close eye on him ever since he led Germany’s U-17 team and played his first game in the Bundesliga.
For now, Real Madrid has been slowly becoming more interested in Wirtz because they think he has the skills to replace Modric. Real Madrid wants to make sure that the midfield transition goes smoothly since Modric is likely to be starting his last season with the club.
The job is being done.
It’s well-known how Florentino Perez signs big players, and the way he’s going after Wirtz is the same: slowly but carefully.

The work is being led by Jose Angel Sanchez and Juni Calafat, who are known for keeping things quiet and secret at Real Madrid.
Wirtz and his father, who is also his lawyer, both know that the club is interested. However, Madrid should be careful right now because of the present situation.
Leverkusen and other teams that compete
The deal for Wirtz with Bayer Leverkusen lasts until 2027, and the club has made it clear that they will not sell him for less than €150 million.
Our team’s general manager, Fernando Carro, has made up his mind about this price. Still, Madrid knows that as Wirtz’s contract draws to a close, they may be able to get a better deal.
Manchester City and other top teams are also interested in the young German. City thinks Wirtz would be a great Kevin De Bruyne alternative if he went to Saudi Arabia.
Bayern Munich is also in the running. They want to pair Wirtz with Musiala so that two of Germany’s best players can play together.
Real Madrid knows they will have to go up against strong competition to sign Wirtz, but they are still waiting because they know time could be on their side.
