Florian Wirtz’s name has suddenly been dragged back into the Real Madrid transfer conversation, and the story is much more interesting than it first appeared. 👀🔥
Before the German superstar chose Liverpool, there were already serious discussions around a possible move to the Santiago Bernabéu. Wirtz had worked brilliantly with Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, and according to his representative Volker Struth, Alonso was encouraged to take the midfielder with him to Madrid. 🇩🇪➡️🇪🇸
Struth revealed that he even contacted Florentino Pérez personally, recommending Wirtz to the Real Madrid president. The move never happened, with Madrid’s squad plans and budget playing a major role in the decision. Instead, Liverpool completed a huge deal worth around £116 million to bring Wirtz to Anfield. 💰🔴
But here is where things get spicy… 👀🔥
Struth has openly admitted that his wish is still to see Wirtz wearing the famous white shirt one day. He believes the German playmaker has the quality to improve any team in the world, and his previous relationship with Real Madrid through Toni Kroos has only added fuel to the speculation. 😳⚪
There was even another interesting twist. Former Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira later claimed that the club had sought Toni Kroos’ opinion while considering Wirtz. Kroos and Wirtz know each other from the German national team, making the connection even more intriguing. 🇩🇪👀
For now, Wirtz remains a Liverpool player and is contracted with the Reds until 2030. Liverpool spent heavily to make him one of the centrepieces of their squad, and there is no confirmed indication that the player is currently pushing for an exit. 🔴💪
Still, Real Madrid’s interest in elite young talent is no secret, and Wirtz already has a history with the club’s plans. With Xabi Alonso also having coached him at Leverkusen, the storyline has all the ingredients for another blockbuster transfer saga. 🍿🔥
Could Florian Wirtz eventually follow the path of other German stars and make the Santiago Bernabéu his next destination? 😱⚪
The Madrid door may not have opened before… but football can change very quickly. 👀🔥
