It is clear that Real Madrid has caused many doubts in recent months. Toni Kroos's departure left a difficult gap to fill. Someone is needed to organize the game with calm, judgment, and a lot of quality.
Dani Ceballos has delivered when he has been available, but it is not enough for the challenges of the merengue team. Luka Modric, meanwhile, remains a technical reference. However, his 39 years prevent him from maintaining the demand every three days.
Bruno Fernandes sounded strong at Bernabéu
Faced with this need, the name of Bruno Fernandes appeared on the scene. The Manchester United attacking midfielder has been performing at a high level in England for some time. Several media outlets pointed out that Real Madrid had sent scouts to watch him live.
His vision, goal, and leadership fit the profile sought by Florentino Pérez. He seemed like a very serious option to strengthen the midfield. However, in recent hours the situation has taken an unexpected turn.
Rúben Amorim closes the door on Bruno Fernandes
Rúben Amorim, Manchester United's coach, has been clear about his future. "He won't go anywhere," he assured in a press conference. These words have completely changed the plans in the Spanish capital.
Faced with this blockage, Real Madrid has decided to turn its attention to another profile. A younger one, with global projection and enormous room for improvement. A bet that could mark the next decade at Bernabéu.
Florian Wirtz: The new white target for the midfield
It is Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen's midfielder and a gem of German soccer. At 21 years old, he is already considered one of the best in the world. His creativity, vision of the game, and ability to associate make him unique.
Moreover, he is much younger than Modric and, according to several experts, more complete than Bruno Fernandes. His current market value exceeds 140 million euros. But Real Madrid is willing to pay even more.
Florentino Pérez prepares 150 million to sign him
According to several sources, Florentino could offer 150 million this summer. The goal is to get ahead of the European competition. At Bernabéu, they don't want to let slip away who many consider Modric's natural heir.
Real Madrid would have already initiated contacts with his representatives. Additionally, Wirtz has been observed live in several recent matches. Everything points to an imminent top-tier operation.
An investment for the present and the future
Wirtz's arrival would be key to consolidating a dream midfield. He would join Valverde, Camavinga, and Bellingham. A perfect mix of physicality, technique, and youth.
Florentino wants to build the best midfield in the world. And Florian Wirtz is the missing piece to complete the white future puzzle.
