The work in Real Madrid's offices doesn't stop, as the club's management remains firm in its transfer strategy without deviating from its priorities. Despite being alert to young soccer talents in Europe, the Madrid team hasn't shown urgency to strengthen its midfield with new and stellar additions. In fact, Madrid's sports management is clear that its squad already has enough talent in that area.
In Valdebebas, the focus remains on other objectives, mainly in defense, where the club considers it needs more depth. Although several names have been linked to the team in recent months, decisions have been cautious and always aligned with the long-term vision of the project. However, this has also led to one of the names most liked by the Merengue entity slipping away to another European giant.
A Star Slips Away
One of the players who was on Real Madrid's radar is Florian Wirtz. The young German talent is considered one of the greatest promises in European soccer, and his progression at Bayer Leverkusen has caught the attention of several elite clubs. It's no wonder: Wirtz has become the most important player for the team led by Xabi Alonso, which is going through the most important period in its history.
However, the news reaching Real Madrid in recent weeks isn't good. Bayern Munich has gotten ahead of the club and secured the signing of the midfielder, ensuring his future in the Bundesliga. The Bavarian club has taken advantage of Real Madrid's passivity to approach Wirtz, as Florentino never considered an offensive for the German in the next market.
Arda Güler Breathes
The signing of the German midfielder by Bayern leaves an unexpected consequence in Real Madrid's squad. This, knowing that Arda Güler is the main beneficiary of this operation. Wirtz's arrival would have meant even greater competition for the young Turk, who has already had difficulties finding minutes in his first season in Spain.
Even so, Güler's situation isn't simple. It will depend on the confidence that Ancelotti gives him in the next season or if the club decides to seek a loan for him to gain experience in another team. With Wirtz out of the equation, at least the Turk maintains hope of consolidating himself in the squad.
