Intensive monitoring of the new Florian Wirtz: Xabi Alonso has asked Calafat for it

For several months, one of Real Madrid's main interests was the German Florian Wirtz. The player, who ended up signing for Liverpool, had a more than outstanding performance at Bayer Leverkusen. A club that, as we know at Defensa Central, is under Juni Calafat's watch due to the recent signing of Malik Tillman.

Coming from PSV, Tillman is a young player with a lot of potential for the upcoming seasons. Although his natural position is midfield, Tillman can also perform as an interior midfielder or attacking midfielder. This versatility makes him a very complete player and a very interesting piece for Xabi Alonso.

As he prepares for the start of the season, Calafat will be extremely alert to Tillman's progress. If the American manages to stand out as expected, Real Madrid could make an offer to secure his services.

Leverkusen's new gem

At 23 years old, Malik Tillman has had quite a busy career. Trained in Bayern Munich's youth academy, Tillman was loaned to Rangers and PSV, the club where he managed to establish himself. Scoring 16 goals and providing 5 assists in the season, Tillman was key for PSV to become Eredivisie champions.

Standing out for his tactical intelligence, vision of the game, and ability to control matches, Xabi has taken an interest in him. Compared to Florian Wirtz, expectations around his new stage at Bayer Leverkusen are very high.

Signing a contract until 2030, Real Madrid could sign the young American talent in the future. The good relationship both clubs have kept for years could be key to making this deal successful.

Real Madrid's watch

Although it isn't in its plans in the near future, Real Madrid is always keeping an eye on the most promising players. Tillman is facing an opportunity that, if he takes advantage of it, would be his leap to the elite of soccer and to the best club in this sport. For now, all that remains is to wait for his performance with Bayer Leverkusen.
