Real Madrid Confidencial Wirtz Becomes a Haaland, His Renewal with Bayer Leverkusen Has a 'Trick'
Wirtz follows Haaland's example and leaves the door open to Real Madrid
This week we have learned the big news regarding the future of one of the most outstanding players. In recent seasons, Florian Wirtz has become a big star worldwide. And Real Madrid has set their sights on him to be their next galactic in 2025.
Florentino is delighted with him, but it has been revealed that he is finally going to sign his renewal. With this, Bayer Leverkusen would've ensured his continuity until the next World Cup. And it seems that 2026 will be the date when he finally makes the leap away from the Bay Arena.
What's more, according to various sources, Wirtz is clearly interested in Real Madrid's transfer. So much so that he has included a clause in his new contract that demonstrates his intentions. It would facilitate the possibility of leaving before 2027, when his contract will end.
He wanted to ensure his possible departure to the white team if an offer arrives. If it's a reasonable price, they should sit down to negotiate to facilitate his departure. As we say, everything points to after the 2026 World Cup, when it could increase in value and have a great offer.
Real Madrid will continue to look for a midfielder in the market
Although Wirtz's renewal practically seals his arrival at Real Madrid, it is not definitive. As we have already explained, he has followed the same path as Haaland, thinking about the future. The Norwegian also wanted to have an escape clause just in case he needed it.
But the Whites will continue to keep an eye on the market for possible alternatives. Everything indicates that they will need a central midfielder, although the German's profile is not the most sought after. Especially because Kroos' departure means that a player is needed to form the base of the game.
Zubimendi is another of the favorites, due to his ability to position himself and bring the ball into play. Real Sociedad don't want to sell him, but they could close the deal for 60 million euros. Furthermore, if Xabi Alonso becomes Madrid's coach, he could end up convincing the player.
