– Real Madrid started planning for the next season, focusing on finding a substitute for the Croatian star Luka Modric, whose contract expires at the end of the current season.
In this context, the name of the German Florian Vertz, the star of Bayer Leverkusen, has emerged as one of the most prominent options to strengthen the midfield.
But the deal appears to be complicated, especially with Manchester City entered strongly in the race, as reports indicated that the English club is ready to pay 150 million euros to include the player next summer, which is an amount that Real Madrid does not intend to reach.
The position of the royal club remains unlimited, as Florentino Perez is closely watching the situation, but he does not want to enter into a war of offers with City.
In light of the great interest in Ferz, the coming months will be decisive in determining his future, amid strong competition between the two European giants.
