Since last season, one of Real Madrid's major objectives has been Florian Wirtz. The young Bayer Leverkusen star managed to establish himself last season thanks to the guidance of Xabi Alonso as his coach. Although Wirtz's signing for Real Madrid seemed facilitated by Xabi's arrival on the bench, his future remains uncertain.

Without revealing anything about his continuity or departure from Bayer Leverkusen, Florentino Pérez has set his sights on another young star. Rodrigo Mora, currently a player for Porto in Portugal, is the player Florentino desires to sign for this summer market. Compared to Wirtz himself, Xabi has agreed to pursue his signing if the transfer of the German is not achieved.

Considered one of the great promises of European soccer, Mora could be essential at Real Madrid. Despite his young age, this has never stopped Real Madrid and, above all, Florentino Pérez, who seeks the signings of young talents.

The Wirtz Florentino seeks

Trained in Porto's youth academy from 2016 to 2024, Rodrigo Mora has surprised with his quick adaptation. Playing in the midfield, Mora has played 2,134 minutes this season. An amount that has allowed him to score 11 goals and provide 4 assists, leaving quite remarkable numbers despite being 18 years old.

While Real Madrid's objective remains Florian Wirtz, the complications with his signing have added interest to Rodrigo Mora's. Perfectly fitting the profile Real Madrid seeks, Mora has the potential to grow into a key player for the team.

Gaining Florentino Pérez's interest, Rodrigo Mora has managed to prove that he is a unique talent with potential for the future. With Xabi agreeing to carry out his transfer, Rodrigo Mora only needs to wait for Florian Wirtz's signing not to be finalized.

Xabi's approval

Despite knowing Wirtz perfectly from his time at Bayer, Xabi is aware that his signing is quite difficult. Having accepted Rodrigo Mora's transfer shows that, despite Wirtz's talent, Xabi has seen the same or greater potential in the Portuguese.
