Florian Wirtz’s agent, Volker Struth, has now revealed that he would like to see the Liverpool star at Real Madrid.
The German midfielder made the £116-million move to Merseyside last summer in what is one of the biggest transfers in Premier League history.
Wirtz was criticised during the first few months of his time with The Reds, but has grown into the player fans expected as he controls the midfield and dictates play.
Before he made the move to the Premier League champions, Wirtz was wanted by several top European sides, including Real Madrid, who were keen on snapping him up from Bayer Leverkusen.
Speaking on the Phrasenmaher podcast, his agent has now revealed that he would love to see Wirtz at Madrid in a message that will worry Liverpool supporters.
“That year, it simply wasn’t the right time due to the squad and the budget. Even Real Madrid’s coffers aren’t always overflowing. But my wish remains that Florian will play there one day.
“I wasn’t deeply enough involved in the offers that were on the table. My greatest wish, of course, would have been to have Florian at Real Madrid to see – and I don’t think I’m alone in that.
“I also think he would be in very good hands there. He’s doing quite well in Liverpool now. He’s a very young player, and who knows what might happen in his career.”
Wirtz signed a five-year contract with Liverpool, tying him to Anfield until at least 2030, but Struth’s words will frustrate fans who saw Trent Alexander-Arnold depart to the Spanish giants last summer.
