Florian Wurtz’s move to Liverpool was billed as a statement of key intentions, the top young talent employed to add creativity to the team.
However, the ideal early return in the Premier League has opened the window of speculation, and reports from Spain suggest that Xabi Alonso is quietly monitoring the situation for Wirtz.
Wirtz arrived at Anfield and was built at Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leberkusen is a technically talented playmaker who thrived under Zabi Alonso’s coaching, providing domestic silverware and deep European run.
From Florian Wiltz to Real Madrid?
That relationship, coaches and players thriving together is exactly why rumors linking Alonso and Whartz carry extra weight.
Defensa Central reports that Madrid is “keeping an eye on” German progress and that if the situation is favorable, it could reassess interests next year.
Wirtz’s first seven league appearances without goals or assists raise eyebrows between supporters and experts.
Integration in Liverpool requires adapting to a variety of tactical demands, new teammates, and, importantly, to a squad culture where the physicality and speed of play is more intense than in the Bundesliga.
The spotlight and expectations at clubs like Liverpool are unforgiving. Arne Slot may remain consistent in choices to give Wirtz rhythms, and believes that Germany’s positional intelligence and ball-carrying ability will begin to produce results for the team.
Meanwhile, the reported interest of Real Madrid should not necessarily be read as an imminent danger.
Top clubs constantly monitor talented players, but careful eyes do not automatically translate into formal bids. Still, the very mention of Alonso’s continued respect for Wirtz could be bothering the Premier League giants.
Liverpool stars need more time to prove themselves
Real Madrid’s reported surveillance adds drama, but don’t derail Liverpool’s long-term plans and give wirtz a platform to grow and trust that his natural quality has begun to affect the match.
The German is still in his early days at the club, and his judgment regarding his performance is premature.
It is necessary to fully settle and consistently perform at the club, as the Reds have shown along with other players like Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima konate and Cody Gakpo.
