Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz, who has struggled at the Merseyside club.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Florian Wirtz is pushing for a reunion with Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid. The Merengues have now been linked with the possibility of signing the talented young German playmaker, who has struggled since completing a £140 million move to Liverpool, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

There is no doubt that Wirtz is a world-class talent, but he has endured a difficult start to life in the Premier League. Having said that, the German international has shown his quality in recent weeks and has been a key player for the team. There is no doubt that he could develop into a future star.

Liverpool have spent a substantial amount of money on the player, and it will be quite surprising if they decide to sanction his departure anytime soon. Real Madrid would have to pay a lot of money to convince Liverpool to sell the player.

Wirtz played his best football at Bayer Leverkusen under Alonso, and he helped them win the league title during his time in Germany. However, a reunion would be quite surprising right now, even though reports have suggested Xabi Alonso wants him at Real Madrid. It will be interesting to see if Los Blancos decide to make a move for him in the future.

Real Madrid do not need Wirtz now

Now, the Merengues have other priorities, and they should look to improve other areas of their squad. There is a need for quality central defenders and a quality central midfielder. They are investing in an attacking midfielder right now, which would not make a lot of sense.

As for the German international, he should focus on repaying the faith Liverpool have shown in him and justify the investment. If Wirtz manages to improve further and fulfil his world-class potential, he will have plenty of opportunities to join clubs like Real Madrid in the future. For now, Liverpool have no reason to sanction his departure, and he has a long-term deal with the club.
