Florentino Pérez has decided to join the race for a sensational Bundesliga star to strengthen Real Madrid’s squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side recently suffered a 4-3 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona at Montjuïc Stadium in the 35th round of La Liga, prompting renewed urgency to reinforce the team.

According to reports, Real Madrid has made a final decision regarding the pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen and Germany midfielder Florian Wirtz.
The German newspaper Kicker reports that Bayer Leverkusen does not believe Wirtz has committed to joining any club as of yet. The publication notes that Bayern Munich had been highly confident of signing the young star just a few days ago, but with Xabi Alonso’s expected move to Real Madrid, there is now growing concern in Munich about potential interference from Los Blancos.
Kicker further indicates that the anticipated sale of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes this summer could provide the financial foundation for a move to bring Wirtz to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The report concludes that Florentino Pérez views Florian Wirtz as the potential signing of the season in Europe — a player capable of restoring the balance to Real Madrid’s midfield that was lost with the departure of Toni Kroos.
