LIVERPOOL
Worrying Update for Liverpool Fans as Real Madrid Enters the Race for Florian Wirtz
Liverpool is reportedly close to securing the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, but Real Madrid may still interfere.
According to AS in Spain, although Liverpool have made their first official bid, Real Madrid is weighing up a late attempt to hijack the deal. While no formal offer has been made by the Spanish club yet, the situation remains uncertain.
Wirtz, 22, is considered one of the most promising young footballers globally, and a move to Madrid would be a major win for the La Liga giants. He’s been hailed as “absolutely exceptional.”
Can Liverpool Complete the Deal?
Liverpool will be keen to finalize the transfer swiftly, particularly with increasing interest from Madrid. The recent hiring of Xabi Alonso—who played a significant role in Wirtz’s development at Leverkusen—as Real Madrid’s manager could persuade the German midfielder to move to Spain.
Although Bayern Munich were also interested, Wirtz chose not to join the Bundesliga champions, instead leaning toward Liverpool, who value his ability to play in multiple attacking roles.
Madrid Want More Firepower
Real Madrid is looking to enhance its creative options in attack, and Wirtz perfectly fits their needs as a dynamic playmaker. Given the club’s prestige, a concrete offer from Madrid could be hard for Wirtz to refuse.
It remains uncertain whether Liverpool can withstand this late competition and secure the talented midfielder’s signature.
