Florian Wirtz is being closely watched by Real Madrid because they believe he is the ideal player to take Luka Modric’s place.

The team is being cautious and discreet about their approach to this potential deal, David Alonso recently informed AS. For the Spanish powerhouses, replacing Modric has become crucial, even though it’s not an emergency.

The youthful Bayer Leverkusen player Wirtz has always piqued Real Madrid’s interest. Since he captained Germany’s U-17 squad and made his Bundesliga debut, the club has been closely monitoring him.

Because they believe Wirtz has the skills to replace Modric, Real Madrid has been gradually showing greater interest in him. Given that Modric is probably going to start his final season with the team, Real Madrid wants to make sure the midfield transition goes smoothly.

The task is being completed.

Florentino Perez is known for signing big players, and he is pursuing Wirtz in the same method—slowly but methodically.

Jose Angel Sanchez and Juni Calafat, who are renowned at Real Madrid for keeping things under wraps, are spearheading the project.

Both Wirtz and his father, who also serves as his attorney, are aware of the club’s interest. However, given the current circumstances, Madrid should use caution at this time.

Leverkusen and other competing teams

Wirtz has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen that expires in 2027, and the team has stated that they will not part with him for less than €150 million.

Fernando Carro, the general manager of our team, has already decided on this price. However, Madrid is aware that they could be able to negotiate a better price once Wirtz’s contract expires.

The young German is also attracting interest from Manchester City and other elite teams. If Wirtz moved to Saudi Arabia, City believes he would be a fantastic Kevin De Bruyne substitute.

Another contender is Bayern Munich. In order for two of Germany’s top players to play together, they wish to pair Wirtz and Musiala.

Real Madrid is still waiting because they believe time may be on their side, even if they are aware that they will face fierce competition to sign Wirtz.
