Real Madrid don’t give up: Still think they can sign Florian Wirtz
Even though the signs point to Liverpool leading the race for Florian Wirtz, the club from Valdebebas is not throwing in the towel. Real Madrid still believe they have the opportunity to turn the situation around and secure the German talent who has impressed this season with Bayer Leverkusen. The match seems to be leaning towards Anfield, but in the Spanish capital they claim that the signing has not yet been completed, according to the newspaper AS.
Xabi Alonso’s role could be crucial
The White club, who have already seen Bayern pull out of the bidding round, believe that the operation still has potential. Xabi Alonso’s influence – key to the player’s development at Leverkusen – is one of Madrid’s greatest advantages. The emotional bond between them, created during the player’s rehabilitation after a serious injury, may weigh more heavily than first thought.
One of the summer market’s biggest transfers
In Germany, figures are cited that place Wirtz as one of the biggest leading roles in the upcoming transfer market: between transfer fees, salaries and bonus schemes, the operation could exceed 250 million euros. This caused Manchester City to withdraw. Liverpool, on the other hand, with strengthened financial muscle and a new project in the pipeline, have taken the lead with determination.
Madrid’s patient strategy
Despite this, Madrid does not consider the cause lost. The club is aware that this will be one of the most complex negotiations of the summer, and therefore chooses a more patient and emotional strategy. They trust that the player and his closest circle are still considering options. While the Premier League is advancing with force, the Whites are waiting for a final twist.
