The summer of 2025 could be a momentous one in Florian Wirtz's career. The German midfielder, under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027, is the object of desire of the continent's big clubs, with FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City being the main protagonists of a 'bidding' that promises to be intense.
The German 'crack' is worth 130 million euros, but aspirins demand 150 'kilos' for his transfer. A very high figure for the pretensions of Florentino Pérez, who has no intention of 'throwing the house' out the window of the player, although he will do everything possible to sign one of the players with the greatest projection of today and whom he sees as the ideal replacement for Luka Modric.
The merengue president knows that the bet is multimillionaire, so he will try to balance and make the operation profitable with the sale of one of his footballers with the highest cachet. In this sense, the newspaper 'SPORT' assures that there would be three clear candidates for the Madrid entity: Rodrygo, Arda Güler and, surprisingly, Vinicius Jr.
Is the end of the 'brasiniños' in Madrid approaching?
The one who has all the 'tickets' to leave the White House is Rodrygo Goes, who has been one of the most affected by the signings of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé by Madrid. The white '11' has seen how his role in the team has been reduced even more, and has already launched several 'darts' to demonstrate his discontent. From the Premier League they are following the trail and the Vikings could get a good cut with his transfer to cover the expense for Wirtz.
For its part, Saudi Arabia does not stop insisting on the arrival of Vinicius Jr. to its league. The '7', who has won everything at the Santiago Bernabéu, could make the economic coup of his life if he accepts the multi-million euro offer from the Asians, while Madrid would obtain an incalculable profit from his transfer that would allow them to take on the signing of Wirtz and even have some left over. Despite this, the Brazilian will have the last word, but those close to him do not rule out a change of scenery.
Arda Güler would be 'untouchable'
The case of Arda Güler is different, whom Madrid does not plan to transfer. The Whites have placed many of their hopes on the Turkish talent, who would not want to leave the Spanish capital either. His main objective is to succeed in white, so his departure would be practically ruled out by the Merengue board. The rest of the season will dictate the sentence in the new 'headache' for the Madridistas.
