Wirtz's Father Cancels His Signing with Real Madrid, the Team Where He Will Play in 2024

Real Madrid Closely Follows Several Footballers from the European Soccer Elite with the aim of securing their services in the upcoming summer markets. One of those targeted players is Florian Wirtz, an attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, who has become a priority target for several 'big' clubs like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid itself.

Speculations about his future place him far from the BayArena for the 25/26 season. Some reports indicate that the 'Wirtz case' could unfold at the end of the current season, but in Germany, they understand that Wirtz would bet on maintaining stability during the next campaign. The information published by BILD sends a clear message to the clubs that are after the '10' werkself.

According to the sports version of this German tabloid, Florian Wirtz's personal circle would have determined that the footballer will remain at Bayer Leverkusen during the next season. Thus, the German talent would continue under the tactical direction of Xabi Alonso in Germany... as long as the Basque coach doesn't leave the German locker room to join Real Madrid and replace Carlo Ancelotti.

In BILD they conclude the 'Wirtz case'... at least for the summer of 2025. According to the reports handled in Germany, those closest to Florian Wirtz continue to study his potential options in the European soccer elite in a process that would be considerably extended.

New Countdown

That's why they have made it clear that Bayer Leverkusen's '10', a vision that the player himself approves, would not be for sale or ready to leave this very summer. Both the young attacking midfielder and his parents understand that the goal is the 2026 World Cup, a competition that will be held in the United States in a year and a half.

His more than likely draft with the German national team for that tournament would once again place Florian Wirtz at the center of many elite clubs' plans. It would be then when the German attacking midfielder's circle would give the green light to his departure from Bayer Leverkusen to settle in the locker room of one of his European elite offers.

Aware of this change in Florian Wirtz's roadmap, in the Valdebebas offices, they would also have been forced to modify their plans for the 2025 market. The main target of that summer window has 'disappeared' due to the decision made by Wirtz himself and his family circle... causing the white bosses to focus on other even more urgent and necessary additions.

Because the generational change, a process initiated in the summer of 2018, has barely had an impact on a defense very worn out by injuries. The growing seniority of their best players demands an urgent change for which there are already some names, as well as doubts about the pertinence of their signing this summer.
