Florentino doesn't want to waste time and has already started negotiations to close as soon as possible the big transfer he is preparing for 2025: Florian Wirtz. In recent weeks, talks have intensified with the player's entourage... who have reportedly given the go-ahead to carry out a costly operation from an economic point of view.
'Sky Germany' has discovered that "Real Madrid are putting pressure on Florian Wirtz", 21 years old. Negotiations have been underway for some time and the intention is to reach an agreement as soon as possible, trying to sign him as a 'galactico' next season.
Real Madrid have one thing in their favor that Florentino wants to make the most of. Relations with Leverkusen, Wirtz's home club, are excellent. Given the interest of other teams such as Bayern or City, the German club would prefer to close a deal with the white team, with a clear intention.
What Leverkusen want is for Florian Wirtz to never wear a Bayern jersey. By agreeing to a transfer to Real Madrid , they hope that he will make a career at Santiago Bernabéu and not leave there. On the other hand, by transfer for Manchester City, there's a possibility that he will move to Munich in the next few years, there are examples.
Florian Wirtz to Real Madrid: Rüdiger knows
Florian Wirtz would love to wear the Real Madrid jersey and has already spoken about it with his teammate, Rüdiger . Antonio, as expected, has spoken highly of the club and is trying to convince him to forget about the other people interested in taking him.
The future departure of Xabi Alonso is playing a key role in the decision. Looking ahead to 2025, Florentino's intention is to make a change in the Real Madrid dugout... hiring the Tolosa native as a generational replacement for an Ancelotti who would step aside and retire.
The bet is twofold: Xabi Alonso would arrive at Bernabéu accompanied by his right-hand man, Florian Wirtz. To keep him, the white club will have to pay 150 million euros, a figure that convinces Florentino. Meanwhile, the other big interested party, Barcelona, couldn't even come close.
So far, this is the most likely option for 2025. Florian Wirtz is clear that he wants to wear the Real Madrid jersey, but, at the moment, nothing has been done. Florentino is negotiating and is using several figures, such as Rüdiger or Xabi Alonso, to convince him.
