Real Madrid quoted club record transfer fee for Bundesliga star

Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, but may need to break their transfer record to secure the deal.

Wirtz, a Germany international, has been linked to Los Blancos as part of their long-term transfer plans. Although rumors suggested he was open to a 2024 move to Madrid, he remained with Leverkusen, who aim to defend their Bundesliga title.

To sign Wirtz, Real Madrid might surpass their current transfer record, set by Jude Bellingham's £88.5 million move from Borussia Dortmund.
