Florian Wirtz’s Agent Would Not Rule Out Talks With Real Madrid Over German Star
According to Team Talk, the midfielder’s strong impact at Liverpool could fuel interest from the Spanish giants.
The future of Florian Wirtz is back in the eye of the storm after bombshell statements from his representative sent shockwaves from Merseyside to Madrid. The German playmaker’s agent openly admitted he would love to see his client donning the legendary white jersey one day, hinting that the player himself is far from opposed to a future move to Real Madrid.
The £116M Investment: From Slow Start to Anfield Star
Florian Wirtz arrived at Liverpool last summer in a blockbuster £116 million deal from Bayer Leverkusen. For a brief moment, he was the most expensive signing in both Liverpool and Premier League history.
While his first few months in England were a statistical "roller coaster," Wirtz has officially found his feet under Arne Slot. After a quiet autumn, his performance exploded in December 2025. He has since been directly involved in 11 goals, stabilizing a season that began with high expectations and a fair amount of scrutiny.
The Agent’s "Flirtation" with the Bernabéu
Just as Wirtz began to dominate the Premier League, his agent reignited the "Galáctico" rumors. Despite Real Madrid previously claiming it wasn't the "right time" for a bid due to budget constraints, the door has been left wide open.
"I would love to see Wirtz at the Santiago Bernabéu at some point in his career," his agent remarked, subtly implying that the player shares this ambition.
While no formal negotiations are on the table for the immediate summer of 2026, the message is clear: the interest is latent and long-term.
Why Real Madrid? The Tactical Fit
Speculation linking Wirtz to the Spanish giants isn't new. Since his days at Leverkusen—especially during the peak of the Xabi Alonso rumors—Wirtz has been viewed as the "ideal profile" for Madrid's sports policy:
- Youth & Longevity: He fits the club’s recent trend of signing world-class talent under 23.
- Technical Mastery: His vision, dribbling, and ability to link play make him a natural successor to the aging creative core in Madrid’s midfield.
The Present: Locked in at Liverpool
For now, the German international remains a pillar of the Liverpool project. With a long-term contract and growing influence in Slot's system, his priority is cementing his legacy in the Premier League. However, in elite football, scenarios shift overnight.
Anfield fans may be enjoying his brilliance today, but the "Madrid Shadow" continues to loom large. Whether this is just an agent's leverage play or the first step toward a record-breaking transfer, only time will tell.
