Real Madrid are set to join the list of clubs plotting a 2024 move for Bundesliga star Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz continues his impressive rise since the start of the season, with five goals and nine assists in the league and in Europe. Xabi Alonso’s side are currently leading the Bundesliga title race.
Last summer, Wirtz extended his contract at the BayArena until 2027, with the club recognizing his ability to demand a high transfer fee for the 20-year-old.
According to information from Diario AS, the asking price of interested clubs is 85 million euros, with the Premier League clubs expected to do battle with Los Blancos and FC Barcelona.
Wirtz’s stock continues to rise, as he is one of the highest-rated young creative talents in European football, and current Real Madrid playmaker Toni Kroos believes he could be a perfect addition to club’s long-term plans next year.
“Who are the players who have the potential to play for Real Madrid? I should have a more global vision, but I think of Florian Wirtz. I think it could do the trick.”Kroos said.
Xabi Alonso has also been touted as a potential target for Real Madrid this summer and this could prove key to the club’s interest in Wirtz.
