Liverpool’s Transfer Blow: Real Madrid Swoops In For £127M Florian Wirtz Deal!
Liverpool appear to have fallen behind in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s emerging talent, Florian Wirtz. Real Madrid are reportedly ready to secure a £127m transfer in the summer of 2025.
This news from Spanish outlet Marca has caused quite a stir in the football transfer window. As of now, Liverpool fans are preparing for a letdown while Madridistas are eagerly awaiting their next Galactico.
Wirtz was a standout performer in Bayer Leverkusen’s incredible Bundesliga title-winning campaign. As a result, he has been on the radar of Europe’s elite clubs.
His eye-catching performances have turned heads not just domestically but across the continent, making him one of the most sought-after young talents.
Liverpool, known for their keen eye for emerging talents, have been linked with Wirtz. But it appears that the Reds are now playing catch-up.
Wirtz Set To Join Real Madrid
According to Marca, two critical agreements have laid the groundwork for Wirtz’s eventual move to Real Madrid.
The first is an accord between Wirtz, his representatives, and Leverkusen, ensuring he stays with the German champions until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The second one is a verbal one with Real Madrid, covering personal terms and paving the way for a blockbuster transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Florentino Perez, Real Madrid’s president, is reportedly undeterred by the potential €150m (£127m) price tag.
The deal resonates with Madrid’s long-term vision of integrating seasoned stars with the brightest young talents.
Wirtz, alongside manager Xabi Alonso, is said to be part of this future blueprint. Further, Alonso is also touted as a potential future manager of the Los Blancos.
Liverpool Left In Limbo
Interestingly, Alonso was also considered for the Liverpool managerial position earlier this year, which eventually went to Arne Slot.
For Liverpool, this news is a major setback. The fans had harboured high hopes of adding Wirtz to their team, particularly following a string of impressive transfer windows.
In the meantime, Wirtz remains focused on his immediate future, which includes representing Germany in Euro 2024.
The tournament, hosted in his homeland, kicks off with Germany facing Scotland, followed by matches against Hungary and Switzerland.
As he aims for international recognition, the transfer drama will undoubtedly linger in the background. As the summer of 2025 approaches, it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid’s master plan comes to fruition.
