The famous German equipment manufacturer has invited a great talent from European football to the management of Real. And it’s not Mbappé.

Kylian Mbappé has a good chance of joining Real Madrid next offseason. There would even only be a few details left to sort out. That being said, this is not the defector that the Merengue equipment manufacturer wants at all costs to see arrive at the Bernabeu. The dream recruit is of German nationality.

Real Madrid are encouraged by Adidas to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Florian Wirtz. The latter is linked to the brand with the three stripes and the German sportswear giant wants to see him wear the jersey of its most prestigious client, Real Madrid.

Real competes with Bayern

According to BILD, Bayern Munich view Wirtz as their main summer target, but Leverkusen do not want to sell their star to their biggest rival. In these conditions, teams outside the Bundesliga have a better chance of recruiting him, but in the end it will probably be the main interest to decide.

Adidas, its main sponsor, therefore wants Real to move and attract this element by the summer of 2025 at the latest. Adidas also participated in the transfer of Jude Bellingham to Real last summer.

At Real, Wirtz would be seen as Luka Modric’s long-term replacement. To snatch it from Bayer, you will certainly have to pay between 100 and 130 million euros.
