An agent has openly said that he wants Florian Wirtz to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid, while a German report has revealed the Reds’ interest in bringing Hugo Larsson to Anfield in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool signed Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window. The German international striker suffered an injury, but the youngster is in good shape at the moment.
Wirtz has scored four goals and provided two assists in 21 Premier League appearances from the start, and he has found the back of the net once and registered two assists in six Champions League appearances from the start for Arne Slot’s side this season.

Florian Wirtz predicted to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid
In the midst of the 22-year-old’s rise in form, German agent Volker Struth has revealed that he wants to see him move to Real Madrid in the future.
Struth, who heads German agency Sport 360, has also revealed that he tried to move Wirtz to Madrid last summer.
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 said to him: ‘You have to bring the boy from Leverkusen to Real.’
Xabi replied: ‘You don’t have to tell me, you have to tell Florentino Pérez.’
So I actually sent him a message: ‘Dear Florentino, I’ve said this to you many times: I have a player here that I would highly recommend to you.
That year it just didn’t fit in because of the squad and the budget.
Even Real Madrid’s coffers are not always full.
But my wish remains that Florian will play there one day.”
Liverpool are aiming for Hugo Larsson
Liverpool are planning to sign Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer transfer window.
According to Fussball Daten, the reigning Premier League champions, owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), are ‘in the driver’s seat’ for the Swedish international midfielder, along with Arsenal.
There is also interest in the 21-year-old midfielder from Spanish and European giants such as Real Madrid.
The German news source has claimed that it will take up to €65 million (£56.6 million, $76.8 million) to convince Frankfurt to sell Larsson, who according to the report is ‘in a class of his own’.
Fussball Daten has added about Larsson: ‘With an average of 12.4 kilometers per game, his work effort is almost unmatched in the Bundesliga.
Whether he plays as a deep playmaker or a dynamic eight, his composure under pressure makes him a player who fits right into any top team.
Analysts predict a 90 per cent probability that he will become a regular starter in a Champions League team within twelve months.’
