Real Madrid President considers star swap for young talent
Real Madrid’s Summer 2025 Plans
Real Madrid is already strategizing for the summer of 2025, with plans to undergo significant changes to their squad. One of their key targets is Bayer Leverkusen and Germany star Florian Wirtz. While Leverkusen may aim to retain him until 2026, Real Madrid is exploring ways to bring him to the club.
Challenges and Competition
The main hurdle for Real Madrid is the €150m price tag attached to Wirtz, which would surpass their current transfer record unless they can negotiate with Leverkusen. The club faces tough competition from Bayern Munich and Manchester City in securing Wirtz’s signature. President Florentino Perez is reportedly open to selling either Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo Goes to finance the move, with Vinicius being a potential profitable option for the club.
Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes
Vinicius Junior has been the subject of ongoing rumors regarding a potential departure from Real Madrid, particularly since Saudi Arabia’s interest in him was revealed. The club may consider selling him for the right price. As for Rodrygo Goes, his future at Real Madrid seems uncertain following a less than impressive first season as a regular starter last year.
