Wirtz is one of the most sought-after prospects in world football after a stellar 2023/24 season, helping Leverkusen complete a historic unbeaten double in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, while their only defeat came in the Europa League final against Atalanta. He has 18 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.

The 21-year-old was also one of Germany’s star players on their way to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 before they fell to Spain, scoring his country’s first and last goals in the tournament.

Understandably, Wirtz is said to be keen on leaving Leverkusen, although he is expected to stay in Germany for at least another season.Catalan newspaper SPORT report that Barcelona are keen on signing Wirtz, although given their precarious financial situation, they recognise that this would be extremely difficult to do.As such, the Santiago Bernabeu chiefs believe Madrid are well placed to sign him instead. The club have a good relationship with Leverkusen and he would become their third major transfer target in the next 12 months, alongside Lille’s Leny Yoro and Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.

Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has long insisted he will not accept offers under €150m for Wirtz.In the short term, 90min reports that Barcelona are keen on Wirtz’s Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong, but face competition from Manchester City and Manchester United for his signature.

🚨 CONFIRMED: Real Madrid have reached an AGREEMENT with Leny Yoro

According to information from Carrusel Deportivo, Real Madrid has reached a personal agreement with Lille’s center back Leny Yoro.

Yoro is currently the top transfer target of three European giants, Real, Liverpool and Manchester United, in this summer transfer window due to his impressive performances in recent times for Lille.

In the 2023/24 season, the French star played a total of 35 matches, scoring 2 goals, making a great contribution to helping the Pierre Mauroy team finish in a position that qualifies for the Champions League qualifying round next season.

All three clubs are keen on the 18-year-old in the near future, but a recent report from Carrusel Deportivo has revealed that Yoro has flatly rejected offers from other clubs to sign a personal contract with Los Blancos .

The central defender born in 2005 prioritizes wearing the White Vulture shirt because he admires the reputation as well as hopes for the ability to achieve noble titles at the Santiago Bernabeu home team.

After getting the nod from Yoro , the next task for Real is to convince Lille to release him.

French media previously reported that the Pierre Mauroy team had asked for 50 million euros for the 18-year-old centre-back, but according to Carrusel Deportivo, the Spanish royal club would not accept paying that amount. Instead, Yoro would go to Spain to play football on a free transfer because the current contract between the 2005-born star and Lille only lasts until June next year.

Previously, Real successfully owned another famous star from Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappe.
