Real Madrid will not have the last word probably in one of the most exciting files of the Mercato to come.

Once is not customary, Real Madrid is not the absolute dream destination of this talented one of the most coveted on the market. At 22 (he will celebrate them this Saturday, May 3), Florian Wirtz is one of the most promising players of his generation. And it is acquired that he will leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer, after five and a half years of good and loyal service.

For many months, the White House has been courting to him. With the likely to arrive on the Merengue bench of Xabi Alonso, the coach who in Bayer made the crack he is today. Only this Thursday, the Spanish press – and in particular the REVO media – is very pessimistic about the realization of the file.

According to these echoes, Florian Wirtz does not intend to follow up on President Florentino Perez, leaning at this time for loyalty to the Bundesliga – via Bayern – while remaining sensitive to the speeches of the two Manchester, City and United. In the three cases, the requirements of the 2024 German champion will not be a brake.

Real Madrid surpassed in the means

125 million euros is what it will be necessary to pay indeed to offer the favors this summer of a Florian Wirtz again linked to Bayer until 2027. The flagship club of Munich would be ready for such madness – the biggest transfer of its history after the arrival at 100 million Harry Kane two years ago. Better still, the Bavarians would align 125 million euros more (250 million in total) by promising the interested party an annual salary of 25 million in five seasons.

These astronomical sums are not to cool obviously a Manchester City capable of such flashes. Pep Guardiola sees in Florian Wirtz the potential successor of his master to play Kevin de Bruyne. This season, all competitions and German selection included, the attacking midfielder has already compiled 18 goals and 18 assists in 48 games.
