Xabi Alonso Urges Real Madrid to Monitor Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz Ahead of Future Move
Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly advised the club to keep a close watch on Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz, whom he previously coached at Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old German joined Liverpool in a blockbuster £116.5 million move during the summer transfer window but has struggled to make an impact in his early months at Anfield. Despite arriving with high expectations, Wirtz has yet to record a goal or assist in ten competitive appearances for the reigning Premier League champions.
His slow adaptation to English football has led manager Arne Slot to drop him from the starting lineup, including in Liverpool’s recent defeat to Chelsea. The Reds’ form has also dipped, with the loss at Stamford Bridge marking their third consecutive defeat across all competitions. Wirtz’s limited contribution and the team’s broader struggles have fueled speculation about his long-term role under Slot.
Reports from Spain suggest that Alonso, a long-time admirer of Wirtz, is interested in reuniting with his former player at Real Madrid. Having seen the midfielder’s development firsthand at Leverkusen, Alonso believes Wirtz could thrive in Madrid’s system if his situation at Liverpool fails to improve. The Spanish coach has reportedly instructed the club’s scouts to monitor the player’s progress over the coming months as a potential future transfer target.
However, any move for Wirtz appears unlikely in the short term given Liverpool’s substantial investment just a few months ago. The Merseyside club remain committed to helping the young talent adjust to the Premier League, but Madrid’s growing interest signals that Wirtz’s future could become one of the key storylines in upcoming transfer windows, especially if his performances do not meet expectations.
