Xabi Alonso is clear about who should be one of the cornerstones of his project if he finally lands on the Real Madrid bench. The coach of Bayer Leverkusen, who is strongly linked to taking over Carlo Ancelotti's position next season, has pointed out Florian Wirtz as a key piece to shape his playing style. The young German talent has shone in the Bundesliga and has also begun to establish himself in the national team, making it clear that he is ready to make the definitive leap to a European giant.
Florian Wirtz could land at Real Madrid
Wirtz, only 21, has been one of the driving forces behind Leverkusen's spectacular season, with performances that have caught the attention of half of Europe. His reading of the game, imbalance, and ability to influence both in the build-up and finishing have made him one of the most complete players of his generation. Real Madrid's environment has liked his profile for some time, but now, with Alonso's insistence, the interest has gained even more strength.
The operation, however, will not be simple. The German club knows they have a diamond in their hands and will not let him go for less than a figure that exceeds 100 million euros. Florentino Pérez, aware of the market demands, values Xabi Alonso's requests with an eye on strengthening a squad that, despite its current talent, needs to be renewed with present and future names.
Wirtz, meanwhile, remains focused on finishing the season with his current team, where he still competes for important objectives. Although he avoids speaking publicly about his future, Real Madrid's interest and Alonso's figure could end up being decisive factors in determining his next destination.
