Real Madrid dealt blow as long-term target informs Xabi Alonso he will not move to Spain
Real Madrid dealt blow as long-term target informs Xabi Alonso he will not move to Spain Florian Wirtz is a player that Real Madrid have admired for quite some time now and have held an interest in signing the Bayer Leverkusen sensation. With current Leverkusen boss, Xabi Alonso, set to take over the reins at the Santiago Bernabeu soon, the interest had seemingly gotten stronger as the Basque coach was keen on bringing the 22-year-old along with him to Madrid. Advertisement However, Wirtz has also been attracting serious interest from other top clubs, including Manchester City. And the Bundesliga gem seems to have made his decision already which will come as a blow for Los Blancos. Florian Wirtz wants Bayern Munich, informs Alonso Indeed, according to BILD, Wirtz has informed Xabi Alonso that he has ruled out moves to Real Madrid and Manchester City – his only destination of interest is Bayern Munich. Wirtz unlikely to follow Alonso to Real Madrid. (Photo by) This development strongly suggests that the Wirtz family, led by the player's father and advisor Hans Wirtz – who has a close relationship with Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness – has reached a basic agreement with the Bundesliga giants. Advertisement The timing of the move remains uncertain, as Wirtz is still under contract at Leverkusen until 2027. One of the most exciting young talents in Europe, Wirtz could have been an excellent addition at Real Madrid, who could be looking at some major tweaks in the summer after a season that has not met expectations. However, it appears that the 22-year-old and his camp have their hearts set on a move to Bayern Munich, thus ruling out the possibility of a reunion with Alonso, who is understood to be the leading candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

Rummenigge rules out more signings for Club World Cup
Bayern Munich have already secured the signing of Jonathan Tah from June, but Bayer Leverkusen now demand a €5 million transfer fee for his availability in the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Bayern's supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has now ruled out more signings for the summer tournament. "Bayern Munich will not purchase any additional players for the Club World Cup," said Rummenigge in an interview with Sport BILD. However, the 69-year-old is looking forward to the competition staged in the US. Advertisement According to Rummenigge, abolishing the Confederations Cup for the new format of the club competition gives a 'proper reward' to clubs instead of releasing their players for national teams for the competition hosted a year before the World Cup. Rummenigge also emphasized the enormous marketing potential in the United States, in addition to the sporting and financial advantages of the Club World Cup. "We will try to use it to make FC Bayern better known and more popular in America, and to establish ourselves in terms of sponsorship and merchandising," Rummenigge said. Bayern will approximately gain €30 million for entering the competition. There will also be over €100 million in the line as prize money for the champions.
