Real Madrid quoted club record transfer fee for Bundesliga star

Real Madrid may need to break their club transfer record to complete a future move for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz. Los Blancos have been tentatively linked with an offer for the Germany international as a future option, alongside other Bundesliga targets, as part of their long term transfer plans. Despite rumours of Wirtz being open to a move to Madrid in 2024, he remained in Germany, as Leverkusen aim to defend their Bundesliga title.
