Real Madrid is preparing to enter the next summer transfer period, after the 2024/2025 season, which disappointed the hopes of its fans at the local and European levels, and the new project is led by technical director Xabi Alonso.
At the top of the list of wanted persons in the midfield, the name of the young German star Florian Vertz, Bayer Leverkusen player, who is seen as a possible successor to the Croatian legend Luka Modric.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Marca”, Xabi Alonso has placed the name of Vertz at the top of his priorities this summer, after the urgent need to pump new blood in the midfield, and to rely on young elements capable of implementing his tactical vision.
The 22 -year -old is one of the most prominent talents in European football, and its market value is more than 100 million euros, and Real Madrid sees a long -term investment, in light of its high technical capabilities and the ability to make the difference in major matches.
Several sources indicate that Real Madrid is considering concluding a deal that may be the largest in years, and Ferz is the intended name, especially with Bayern Munich entering the negotiation line, but the strong relationship that links Xabi Alonso with Bayer Leverkusen may suggest the cuff in favor of the Royal Club.
It is noteworthy that Florian Vertz brilliantly starred this season under the leadership of Alonso, as he participated in 45 games in all championships, during which he scored 16 goals, and made 15 other goals, which reflects his ability to make the difference offensive, and makes him the potential cornerstone of the project of rebuilding in the midfield of the Real Madrid stadium.
