Despite coming off an impressive season where they won both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid aims to strengthen their squad even further.
This summer they welcome Kylian Mbappe and Endrick into their ranks, while Leny Yoro and Alphonso Davies remain two of their priority targets.
But known for their incredible foresight, ability to future-proof squads and soften the transition from veterans to youngsters, the Real Madrid hierarchy also has its focus on the upcoming transfer windows.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Real Madrid are already planning ahead and strongly believe that they will be able to land Florian Wirtz in the summer of 2025.
The Merengues are expected to face competition for his signature from league rivals Barcelona, who have showcased interest in him for a while now.
However, Real Madrid enjoy a strong relationship with Bayer Leverkusen and are confident they can persuade Florian Wirtz to join their ranks.

More importantly, Los Blancos’ financial strength gives them a massive edge over the Catalan giants.
Real Madrid presently possesses ample options in midfield, but after Toni Kroos’ retirement, they look forward to integrating a new German maestro into their esteemed ranks.
After an outstanding season at Bayer Leverkusen, where he clinched the Bundesliga title, Wirtz further showcased his talent with the German national team during the Euros.
Although he was on the losing end, Wirtz was Germany’s standout player last night against Spain after coming on as a substitute. The Leverkusen star scored a last-minute goal to force extra time and was a constant threat on the field.
A departure for Wirtz this summer is pretty much ruled out, but numerous teams are expected to vie for him next year, with Real Madrid particularly optimistic about their prospects.
