Florian Wirtz Open to Real Madrid Only If Xabi Alonso Calls, Reports Say

Overview

• Fichajes-sourced reports claim Wirtz would accept a Bernabéu move only if Xabi Alonso personally requests it, with no club approach confirmed.
• Coverage adds that Madrid would weigh a pursuit only if Alonso is convinced Wirtz improves their midfield.
• Liverpool signed Wirtz for a fee reported near €140 million, and recent pieces stress the cost as a major hurdle to any deal.
• The 22-year-old has faced criticism after a difficult start at Anfield, though reports note six assists in 22 matches and some recent improvement.
• Analysis suggests Wirtz’s profile could suit Spanish football, yet multiple outlets judge a near-term transfer unlikely given cost and Madrid’s current priorities.
