Florian Wirtz considered by Madrid for next summer

Real Madrid have set their sights on Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz as they look to inject new creativity into their midfield, according to reports.
The Spanish giants, concerned about a potential gap in midfield artistry after Toni Kroos' departure, are considering Wirtz as a possible long-term solution to elevate their playmaking options. However, the club is likely to wait until the summer transfer window to pursue the 20-year-old talent.
Wirtz, who has been in standout form for Leverkusen, has attracted attention across Europe with his technical skill and vision on the ball—qualities that Madrid see as crucial to reviving the kind of midfield dynamism Kroos brought to the team.
Despite the interest, Real Madrid are cautious about adding new players mid-season, preferring to give opportunities to current squad members, particularly young prospect Arda Guler, who has shown potential in a creative role.
If Wirtz does make the move next summer, he would join an evolving Madrid midfield with the chance to cement his role as a key playmaker. For now, Madrid’s interest in Wirtz is a strategic move for the future, keeping a close eye on a player who could help fill the void left by one of their greatest midfielders.
