Bild's Response on Florian Wirtz's Signing by Real Madrid

The transfer market is completely closed, but clubs are already starting to plan for the next season. This is the case for Real Madrid, which has a roadmap established for the upcoming campaign. The primary objective is to strengthen and rejuvenate the defense.

The sports management is clear that they need to bring in some new faces for that position. This season is proving that it is necessary, so the first signings will be in that area. Trent Alexander-Arnold will arrive, barring a major surprise, and a young center-back. 

Vitor Reis was quite liked, but the Brazilian, who played for Palmeiras, has ended up joining Manchester City. The profile of defender sought by the club is young and with a long career ahead. The perfect example is Raphael Varane.

However, within the entity, they are also looking at other positions, meaning they are not forgetting about them. There is a list of footballers to consider, and Florian Wirtz's name appears there. The German, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is quite liked at the white house.

In Germany, they wonder what his future might be, but it seems that the BILD newspaper, is clear that it involves Santiago Bernabéu. They consider that joining the white house will be his next step.

"But what advantage would a move to Bayern have for Wirtz? The truth is... none! It would be a step back for him in terms of play. Only one club matches his class for the next step: Real Madrid," they assure in that medium.

Contract in Force, but Xabi Alonso Could Be Key

The German has a contract in force with his team. However, the possibility of Xabi Alonso ending up at the reigning European champion is a factor that could be decisive. Right now, he is coaching him at the Bay Arena, and their relationship couldn't be better.

Therefore, if Madrid decides to bet on the man from San Sebastián, he might be able to bring one of the best young footballers of the moment. Absolutely nothing can be ruled out at this time.
