Over the course of the last several months, there have been many indications that Real Madrid is interested in acquiring Florian Wirtz, a phenomenon in the midfield position for Bayer Leverkusen.
In spite of this, it seems that there have been substantial developments in the story, which can be attributed to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano. In his most recent video on YouTube, Romano offers some fresh information on the young German player.
Despite the fact that Real Madrid’s everlasting rivals Barcelona and Manchester City, both of whom are giants in the Premier League, are showing interest in Wirtz, Romano believes that some members of the Real Madrid camp are also interested in him.
This does not come as a surprise since Los Blancos seem to be on a path to putting together a team comprised of extremely young players who are already considered to be superstars in their respective organizations.
For Wirtz, it is a game of waiting
At this point in time, however, the process of signing the twenty-year-old player is not going to be a particularly easy matter.
According to Romano, there is no possibility that Wirtz would quit the company in January, despite the fact that the rumor mill has been spreading stories that his departure may take place in that month.
On top of that, it is quite improbable that the player would leave during the summer of 2024, as he continues to maintain his unbroken concentration on the European Union Championships in Germany, without being exposed to any transfer rumors.
It was earlier stated that Leverkusen would attempt to demand an exorbitant cost of over 120 million euros for the 20-year-old player, and that he would not leave the club under any circumstances until the year 2025.
Although the Merengues may not have a significant problem with money, it is important to consider whether or not they are ready to wait for such a long time in order to complete another big acquisition in the midfield position.
Madrid has also been keeping an eye on Jamal Musiala, a great player for Bayern Munich, and if he becomes available early, they could decide to go in that manner.
