Humiliated by Arsenal in the Champions League (3-0), Real Madrid accelerates for a market stroke. The target? A European prodigy, coveted by all of Europe …<\/p>\n

\n

Shaken by its defeat against Arsenal, Real Madrid wants to react. According to Okdiario<\/em>the Merengue club relies on a strategic recruit to energize its environment, a weak point revealed on Tuesday. But unlike its rivals, Real favors patience, reveals a source close to the file.<\/p>\n

The name leaked: Florian Wirtz, 21 -year -old attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, formed by Xabi Alonso. Under contract until 2026, the German international (15 goals, 12 assists this season) embodies the creative and technical profile that Madrid seeks. The strategy? Wait until 2026 to recover it free<\/em>avoiding a war of auction against Manchester City and Bayern Munich, ready to complete the case this summer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Manchester City sees in Wirtz the ideal successor of Kevin de Bruyne<\/a>whose departure is made. Bayern dreams of repatriating it, but Leverkusen refuses to strengthen a direct rival.
\n“Wirtz will not be sold to a German club”<\/em>insists a Bavarian leader. A boon for Real, who puts on his relationship with Xabi Alonso, Madrid legend, to convince the player.<\/p>\n

Patience, secret weapon of Real<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unlike its habit, Real Madrid plays the delay card. \u201cWirtz is worth 100M \u20ac today, but in 2026, he will be free. We prefer to invest elsewhere now “<\/em>explains Eduardo Inda, Spanish journalist. A risky strategy, but consistent with recent contracts from Mbapp\u00e9 and Endrick, who arrived without compensation.<\/p>\n

If Wirtz extends to Leverkusen, the plan collapses. But Real believes in its power of seduction: “Players dream of the white jersey, even while waiting for one or two years”<\/em>recalls Inda. With the advanced age of Modric (39) and the departure of Kroos, the club knows the importance of preparing the future … even if it means leaving City and Bayern to fight for nothing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
