“Wirtz’s agent reveals that the president of Real Madrid rejected the proposal.”

The bombshell revelation from Florian Wirtz’s agent, Volker Struth, has shed light on the behind-the-scenes of a transfer that could have changed the course of football. According to Struth, he offered the young German talent to Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez during the last transfer window. This conversation, which could have made history, reveals not only the player’s ambition but also the hesitations of one of the most iconic clubs in the world.

During a crucial conversation with Xabi Alonso, Wirtz’s former coach at Bayer Leverkusen, Struth expressed his desire to see the forward shine in Madrid. “During the time when there was talk of his transfer to Liverpool or Bayern Munich, I called Xabi and said, ‘You have to take the kid from Leverkusen to Real Madrid,'” he revealed. Alonso’s response was clear: “You don’t need to tell me that; you need to tell Florentino Pérez.”

With that, Struth did not hesitate to contact the president of Real Madrid, sending a direct message: “Dear Florentino, I’ve told you this many times: I have a player here that I strongly recommend.” However, despite the agent’s insistence, the proposal did not materialize. Wirtz, who has already established himself as one of the top players in the Bundesliga, saw his future lead to Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern, which were the only clubs to make a formal approach.

The agent spared no praise for the talent of the young player: “Real Madrid was better in the past than it is now. And of course: Florian Wirtz makes any team in the world better.” However, Struth admitted that the timing was not ideal for Real Madrid, considering the setup of the squad and the club’s budget limitations. “That year, it simply wasn’t the right moment due to the roster and the budget. Even Real Madrid’s coffers are not always full.”

Florian Wirtz, now shining in Liverpool, is a name that promises much for the future of European football. Real Madrid’s refusal to proceed with the transfer may have been a missed opportunity, but his talent will undoubtedly continue to attract attention. What remains to be seen is whether, in the future, the Spanish giant will reconsider a new approach for the young prodigy who has already won the hearts of fans at Anfield.
