Florian Wirtz finds himself back at the center of the European market debate after an unexpected turn in his situation with Liverpool. The German footballer, signed as the star of the Reds' project, has not achieved the expected impact at Anfield.

His numbers reflect an uncomfortable reality. With no goals and five assists across the Premier League, Champions League, and Community Shield, his performance is well below what was anticipated for a player expected to lead.

This situation has led to internal doubts at Liverpool, which is starting to reconsider his continuity just months after a historic investment. In this context, Real Madrid reappears, never having completely lost sight of the German attacking midfielder.

Florian Wirtz, from star signing to under review asset

Last summer, Liverpool made a strong bet on Florian Wirtz, paying nearly 150 million euros to beat other top European clubs. The operation generated enormous excitement.

However, the on-field integration has not been as expected. Wirtz has failed to assume the offensive leadership role expected from day one. The lack of goals and his inconsistent impact in crucial matches have sparked a growing debate at Anfield about the viability of the project surrounding him. Therefore, the English club is now considering a sale if a compelling offer arrives.

Liverpool opens the door to a significant discount

The big news is financial. According to DefensaCentral, Liverpool would be willing to significantly lower its demands to part ways with the German player. From the initial 150 million invested, they could now accept a figure close to 110 million euros. A 40 million discount directly related to his poor performance.

The Reds' aim is to minimize losses and relieve pressure within the dressing room. This decrease makes Florian Wirtz a much more appealing option for clubs that previously found his signing impossible.

Real Madrid and the Xabi Alonso factor

This is where Real Madrid comes into play. The Spanish club had Wirtz on their radar before his move to England. Xabi Alonso's influence could be crucial. If the coach manages to establish himself and end the season with a title, his continuity would gain strength.

In that scenario, Xabi would once again request Florian Wirtz, a player he turned into a star during their time at Bayer Leverkusen. Their relationship was excellent. Alonso knew how to bring the player back after a serious injury and enhance his best version in the Bundesliga and Europe.

A reunion with strong sporting sense

During his time in Germany, Florian Wirtz was one of the continent's brightest attacking midfielders. His ability to decide games and lead attacks placed him among the elite. Real Madrid believes that that level has not disappeared, rather that it has not emerged in the current Liverpool context.

Additionally, LaLiga could offer him a more favorable environment to regain confidence, prominence, and continuity. Valdebebas values his talent but also cautiously assesses his current inconsistent campaign.

The economic dilemma and the Nico Paz effect

The big question is whether Real Madrid is willing to invest 110 million for a player whose recent performance raises reasonable doubts. The operation could also impact other plans. His arrival could jeopardize the potential return of Nico Paz to the first team.

The club must decide whether to bet on a proven talent in a reconstruction phase or on internal growth. Currently, there are no formal moves, but the scenario has radically changed since last summer. Liverpool no longer shuts the door, and Real Madrid observes closely with each step.

One of Xabi Alonso's greatest desires since arriving at Real Madrid has been to sign Florian Wirtz, whom he previously coached at Bayer Leverkusen. It is worth noting that Liverpool is quite disappointed with the German player, as his performance level has not met expectations, potentially paving the way for his exit.
