Following Mbappe, Fabrizio Romano reveals Real Madrid’s huge addition—not Haaland or Alphonso Davies. Florentino Perez will take the same approach that he used to recruit Bellingham and Mbappe, meaning Real Madrid’s next acquisition will be formidable and painful for its competitors. The next big signing from real Madrid will shake the football world
Real Madrid is working hard to bolster their roster in anticipation of Kylian Mbappe’s impending arrival. The outstanding midfielder Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen is the newest transfer target for the Spanish powerhouses, according to the publication Marca.
In a recent tearful video statement, Kylian Mbappe announced that he will not be staying with Paris Saint-Germain beyond the end of the current campaign. He declared that his encounter with Toulouse will be his last at the Parc des Princes.
Real Madrid is having a great time right now. They just won the Spanish League, and they are about to win their 15th Champions League championship. Mbappe is getting ready to leave PSG. While everyone celebrates, the team is keeping an eye out for new players to keep them competitive.
Under the tutelage of former star Xabi Alonso, Florian Wirtz has been excellent in the Bundesliga, and Marca says that Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on him. It seems unlikely, nevertheless, that Wirtz would join Real Madrid during the forthcoming summer transfer season. Rather, the team sees this as a strategic buy for the 2025–2026 campaign. The success of this strategy depends on Wirtz remaining with Leverkusen for a more season before moving to the Spanish capital.
Since the 21-year-old midfielder’s recuperation from a cruciate ligament injury in 2022, Real Madrid has been monitoring him closely. With 18 goals and 19 assists in 46 games, Wirtz has demonstrated his extraordinary talent, physicality, and goal-scoring ability despite this injury. It is evident how highly regarded Wirtz is at Real Madrid’s training facilities at Valdebebas that the player is comparing his possible signing to Jude Bellingham.
José Ángel Sanchez and Johnny Calafat, the club’s executives, are renowned for their methodical and careful approach to recruitment. Their main goals are to assimilate players into Real Madrid’s culture and persuade them to hold off on closing deals until the right time. Careful financial discussions are another component of this methodical approach, in which club president Florentino Pérez is essential.
There have been successful transactions between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in recent years, despite the fact that their connection is not as strong as that of Borussia Dortmund. Because of his long-term deal with Leverkusen, which expires in 2027, getting Wirtz to sign will likely be difficult and costly.
In spite of these obstacles, Florian Wirtz is the target of Real Madrid for the 2025–2026 campaign as they look to bolster their midfield with the exceptionally gifted German player.
