Real Madrid Bids Florian Wirtz’s takeover

Real Madrid are reportedly planning to hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, aiming to secure his signature with a significant offer.

Liverpool have been actively negotiating with Leverkusen, with reports indicating that Wirtz has agreed to personal terms for a five-year deal. However, the clubs have yet to finalize the transfer, as Leverkusen is holding out for a £126 million fee, which includes £20 million upfront and specific clauses .

Real Madrid, under the guidance of new manager Xabi Alonso, are keen to bolster their midfield with Wirtz. Alonso, who previously managed Wirtz at Leverkusen, is believed to have a strong rapport with the player, which Madrid hopes to leverage in their favor . While Bayern Munich had shown interest, they have reportedly withdrawn from the race, leaving Manchester City and Real Madrid as the primary contenders .

Despite Wirtz’s father’s statements suggesting his son intends to stay at Leverkusen, the intense competition and substantial offers from top clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid could influence his decision

As the transfer window progresses, the battle between Liverpool and Real Madrid for Wirtz’s signature is expected to intensify, potentially leading to a significant move that could impact both clubs’ futures.
