The work continues at Real Madrid, as the club focuses on the present while also considering the future, which is essential for strengthening Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
The goals that the Merengue aim for in the 2025-2026 season are numerous, but the player that interests Florentino Pérez and all Madrid fans is Florian Wirtz.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” the Spaniard Xabi Alonso is aware that keeping the German talent for another year will be a significant challenge, especially with major clubs like Real Madrid looking to sign him. The Spanish coach has a clear vision for a potential replacement for the German star.
In this context, the Bayer Leverkusen coach intends to replace Florian Wirtz with Arda Güler, either through a loan an option that the Merengue are open to or via a permanent transfer, which would provide a solid reinforcement for the midfield for at least one season.
While Real Madrid appears reluctant to let the Turkish player leave, Xabi Alonso considers him a preferred option to replace Florian Wirtz, who has attracted interest from several big clubs across Europe.
Ultimately, Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, who favor Arda Güler staying with the team, will evaluate his situation at the end of the current season, especially if he does not receive the expected minutes on the pitch.
