Real Madrid Monitoring Wirtz at Liverpool as Slot Backs Patience

Arne Slot pledges minutes for the €140 million signing to ease his adaptation to the league.

Real Madrid beobachtet Florian Wirtz bei Liverpool, Xabi Alonso will ihn.
Real Madrid beobachtet Florian Wirtz nach enttäuschendem Start bei Liverpool genau.
Trainer Slot verteidigt Wirtz und gibt ihm Zeit, sich bei Liverpool zu entwickeln.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool in the summer for roughly €135–140 million.
  • After nine appearances in the Premier League and Champions League, he has yet to record a goal or an assist, drawing criticism in England.
  • Slot publicly defended the playmaker, invoking Kevin De Bruyne's early Premier League years and stressing that Wirtz needs time on the pitch.
  • The manager highlighted several near-assists, including a pass to Mohamed Salah against Chelsea that struck the post, arguing finishing luck has been lacking.
  • Sportbild/BILD, citing Real-linked outlet Defensa Central, report that Xabi Alonso has asked Real Madrid to closely observe Wirtz's situation, though an immediate transfer is viewed as unrealistic given Liverpool's support and his contract through 2030.
