Arsenal and Real Madrid could end up on a collision course on more than one deal when the January and summer windows roll around.

The Gunners are pushing to win the Premier League title while Madrid are looking to retain La Liga and make a big fist of things in the Champions League again.

However, Arsenal and Madrid have already crossed paths in terms of transfer rumours, with Madrid said to be keen on star defender, William Saliba.

But according to reports from Spain, the Spanish champions could also end up scuppering Arsenal’s hopes of signing one of their top targets.

Real Madrid looking to sign Florian Wirtz ahead of Arsenal

According to a report from AS, Madrid are keeping an eye on German star Florian Wirtz as they look to keep adding to their squad in the forthcoming windows.

It’s claimed Madrid see Wirtz as a player who can replace the long-serving Luka Modric.

Arsenal are also keen on Wirtz, who could end up costing a huge fee of around £125m if he is to leave Bayer Leverkusen eventually.

Wirtz has been lauded as a potential ‘superstar‘ back in his homeland and has starred under Xabi Alonso in recent seasons.

Arsenal should go all out for Wirtz

While interest from Real Madrid will always be a problem for any other interested club, Florian Wirtz is a player who is worth going for.

Arsenal have made big inroads in recent seasons in landing some of their top targets and a player like Wirtz doesn’t come along too often.

Yes, at over £100m, the German is going to be a big splash in the market.

But for Arsenal, if they are serious about keeping on challenging in Europe and in England, then a signing of the quality of Wirtz is what they should be looking at.
