Florian Wirtz has caught the attention of several top European clubs as the summer of 2025 approaches, with Real Madrid among his potential suitors. The Bayer Leverkusen star is a key target for next summer, and Los Blancos highly regard him.
However, competition is fierce, with clubs like Manchester City and Bayern Munich also pursuing the talented midfielder, making the transfer complex. Despite the competition, SportBILD reports that Real Madrid remains the favorites to secure Wirtz’s services.
The Bundesliga champions are expected to demand a staggering €150 million for their prized asset, a fee that only a few clubs can afford. Currently, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich are competing for his signature, but reports suggest Real is in the lead.
One factor that could influence Wirtz’s transfer is Real Madrid’s interest in hiring Xabi Alonso, the current Bayer Leverkusen manager, as Carlo Ancelotti’s successor. If Alonso were to join Madrid, it could increase the chances of Wirtz following him to the Santiago Bernabéu.
If Real Madrid successfully signs Wirtz for the anticipated fee, he would become the club’s most expensive signing in history. After playing a crucial role in Leverkusen’s domestic double last season, Wirtz has started the new campaign strong, scoring three goals and providing one assist in five games. As the summer transfer window approaches, Real Madrid stands out as the frontrunner for his signature.
