Florian Wirtz backed to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid

A German agent has said that he wants Florian Wirtz to leave Liverpool and join Real Madrid in the future.

Volker Struth, who leads German agency Sport 360, has revealed that he was trying to convince Madrid president Florentino Perez to sign Wirtz in the summer of 2025 before the Germany international attacking midfielder joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen.

The agent said on the Phrasenmaher podcast: “During the period when a move to Liverpool or Bayern was being discussed, I called Xabi Alonso and told him: ‘You have to take the lad from Leverkusen to Real.’

“Xabi replied: ‘You don’t have to tell me that, you have to tell Florentino Pérez’.

“So, I actually sent him a message: ‘Dear Florentino, I’ve told you this many times: I have a player here that I would highly recommend to you. Florian Wirtz makes every team in the world better’.

“That year, it just wasn’t the right fit due to the squad and the budget.

“Even Real Madrid’s coffers aren’t always full.

“But my wish remains that Florian will play there one day.”
