Real Madrid is actively pursuing both Florian Wirtz and Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, signaling significant interest for both the young midfielder and the experienced coach.
Real Madrid has intensified their pursuit of the 21-year-old German prodigy. They’ve already initiated talks with Wirtz’s representatives, indicating serious intent to secure his signature. Wirtz, known for his versatility and impressive performances, including 18 goals and 20 assists in the 2023-24 season, is seen as a future star.
While Bayern Munich also shows interest, Bayer Leverkusen would prefer Wirtz to move to Real Madrid if a transfer is inevitable, potentially easing negotiations for Los Blancos.
Alonso is currently viewed as the ideal candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. His managerial stint at Bayer Leverkusen has earned him recognition, and his potential move to Madrid could influence Wirtz’s decision, increasing the likelihood of the young midfielder joining Real Madrid if Alonso takes over.
However, while these moves are heavily speculated and discussed, with initial talks having taken place, the actual transfers would still require negotiations between clubs, agreement on fees, and personal terms with the individuals involved.
The situation remains fluid, with the summer of 2025 being a likely timeline for these moves, given Wirtz’s contract situation and Real Madrid’s planning for post-Ancelotti era.
