Although not the same profile, Florian Wirtz will add a world of quality to this super Madrid team. Known for his playmaking and goals scoring abilities, Wirtz is amongst the best attacking Midfielders in the world right now.
In a club like Real Madrid with the quality in attack, they could really use wirtz’s playmaking abilities to their advantage. He is also known for his versatility, as he has strived in the wings in the past.
