Real Madrid continues its efforts, balancing immediate needs with future plans to bolster Carlo Ancelottiโs squad. Among the many goals for the 2025-2026 season, the player capturing the attention of Florentino Pรฉrez and Madrid fans is Florian Wirtz.
According to Spanish outlet โDefensa Central,โ Xabi Alonso, aware of the challenge in keeping Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen amidst interest from clubs like Real Madrid, is considering a clear strategy for his potential replacement. Alonso is looking at Arda Gรผler as a suitable alternative, whether through a loanโan option that Madrid is open toโor a permanent transfer to strengthen their midfield for at least a season.
While Real Madrid seems hesitant to part with Gรผler, Alonso views him as a prime candidate to step in for Wirtz, who is in demand from several top European clubs. Ultimately, Pรฉrez and Josรฉ รngel Sรกnchez will assess Gรผlerโs situation at the end of the season, particularly if he isnโt getting enough playing time.
