Xabi Alonso, who is strongly rumored to take over from Carlo Ancelotti in the Real Madrid dugout, is already outlining the pillars of his project in case he lands at the Santiago Bernabéu. Among his first requests to Florentino Pérez, one name stands out: Florian Wirtz. The 21-year-old German midfielder, a key figure in Alonso's list of essential reinforcements for his football proposal.

Wirtz, currently one of the standout players at Bayer Leverkusen, has proven to be a unique talent in the Bundesliga, accumulating 14 goals and 9 assists in just 28 matches this season. His ability to pose a threat in attack, coupled with his vision and precision in the final third of the field, make him an ideal option to succeed Luka Modric. The Croatian, a Real Madrid icon, is ending his contract this summer, and his continuity remains uncertain.

Florian Wirtz, Xabi Alonso's top wish

Xabi Alonso's interest in Wirtz is not coincidental. As the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso has witnessed firsthand the growth of the young attacking midfielder, reinforcing his belief that Wirtz can be a key element in Madrid's success in the coming years. Furthermore, Wirtz's signing would signal the intentions of the club, ensuring not only a player for the present but also for the future.

With Ancelotti nearing the end of his spell in charge of Real Madrid, Alonso's arrival and the addition of Wirtz could mark the beginning of a new era. Florentino Pérez's management will be crucial in turning this request into a reality that would excite both the coach and the Madrid fans.
