Real Madrid 'cools off' its possible star signing due to two 'weighty' factors

The Florian Wirtz soap opera continues to add chapters. The German midfielder will be in the 'eye of the storm' during the next summer transfer market, since several of the continent's big clubs, including FC Barcelona, ​​will seek to get him from Bayer Leverkusen to incorporate him into their ranks.

However, in this 'race' it would be Real Madrid who would have the upper hand. The possible arrival of Xabi Alonso to the Merengue bench for the next season made the Whites the top candidate to get the services of the German 'crack', but from the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu they would not be so clear about his signing.

Madrid's doubts about Wirtz

According to 'The Athletic', in Chamartín they would be thinking twice about undertaking an operation like that of Wirtz due to two factors. The first of them, his high price, since aspirins would have valued his transfer at a figure that oscillates between 100 and 130 million euros.

An amount that 'clashes' with the needs of the Madrid team, which would be forced to invest in other positions such as defense, where the injuries of David Alaba, Éder Militao and Dani Carvajal have seriously weakened the team. For these reasons, in the White House the name of Wirtz would be 'cooling off' little by little.

A scenario that could favor Barça or Manchester City, who also dream of landing Florian in their squads. Madrid appeared as the main competitor of both institutions in the 'bid' for the midfielder, but their economic and sporting emergencies would be distancing them from the 'race' and both culés and 'citizens' could press to take 'the cat to the water'.
