Xabi Alonso reveals conversation about the young player’s move to Real Madrid.

In an explosive revelation that promises to shake up the European football scene, Volker Struth, father and agent of young prodigy Florian Wirtz, revealed that he made a direct approach to iconic coach Xabi Alonso, suggesting a transfer of his son to Real Madrid. The saga unfolds amid a bustling transfer market, where the German star ultimately settled at Liverpool for a record sum of 125 million euros.

“During talks about a possible move to Liverpool or Bayern, I didn’t hesitate and called Xabi Alonso. I told him: ‘You have to take the kid from Leverkusen with you to Real,'” Struth said in an interview with Bild. What followed was a message exchange that could have changed the course of Wirtz’s career. “He replied: ‘You don’t need to tell me that, you need to tell Florentino Pérez,'” he added, revealing the direct connection he sought to establish.

With determination, Struth did not hold back. “So, I sent him a message. ‘Dear Florentino, I’ve told you many times: I have a player here that I would highly recommend. Florian Wirtz makes any team in the world better.'” Pérez’s response was cordial, thanking him for the recommendation and redirecting the agent to the club’s general director, José Ángel Sánchez, to follow up on the negotiations.

However, in a transfer market filled with movements, which included the arrival of new talents such as Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid decided not to proceed with another major signing. “This year simply wasn’t the right time due to the squad and the budget,” Struth explained, acknowledging that times are not always ideal for the giants of football. “The coffers of Real Madrid are not always full. But my wish remains that Florian plays there one day,” he added.

Florian Wirtz, one of the brightest prospects in European football, continues to impress with his talent, while the future at Santiago Bernabéu seems a distant dream, but not impossible. Wirtz’s saga serves as a reminder of how quickly the football landscape can change and how decisions within the walls of clubs can impact players’ careers. Anticipation grows as fans await to see where this young talent will end his journey.
