Real Madrid are reportedly confident of beating Barcelona to the signature of their top transfer target.
Real Madrid are confident they will win the race to sign Florian Wirtz, one of the most sought-after young players in world football., according to Spanish outlet SPORT.
The 21-year-old midfielder was fantastic last season, helping Bayer Leverkusen achieve a historic unbeaten Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, as well as reaching the Europa League final. He provided 18 goals and 20 assists across all competitions.
Wirtz to Real Madrid in 2025?
Wirtz was also impressive for Germany at EURO 2024, despite their quarterfinal exit, scoring the team's first and last goals in the tournament.
While he is expected to stay at Leverkusen for another season, Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing him.
However, due to their financial constraints, they acknowledge that securing his signature would be extremely challenging.
This puts Real Madrid in a strong position to land their desired midfielder.
