€150 Million and Goodbye to Real Madrid – He Won’t Play Under Xabi Alonso Next Season
Real Madrid will not sign Florian Wirtz. Bayer Leverkusen is asking for €150 million, and Bayern Munich is reportedly willing to pay it, according to sources in Germany. As a result, the German midfielder is expected to end up at Bayern.
At Valdebebas, Wirtz is a highly admired player, but the club has no intention of paying such an amount. Especially considering that Ancelotti’s current squad already includes several players with a similar profile, and signing Wirtz is not seen as a top priority.
Although Real Madrid has been tracking him for some time, they’ve never seriously considered spending around €100 million or more. The club’s urgent objective is to reinforce and rejuvenate the defensive line.
Focus on a Generational Center-Back
Reliable sources at Valdebebas emphasize that now may be the perfect moment to secure a generational central defender. One name gaining serious traction in recent days is Dean Huijsen, currently playing for Bournemouth.
A Real Madrid-Type Player
Wirtz perfectly fits Real Madrid’s recruitment policy — he’s young and has a long career ahead. However, the majority of investment will not go toward attacking players or those who simply offer an upgrade in quality.
What Madrid urgently needs is to fix the weak spots in the current squad, which is still under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti. The defense has been the most problematic area for the club this season, and that’s where the resources will be focused.
