đ¨ Florian Wirtz Transfer Twist Rocks Liverpool Ahead of Real Madrid Clash

Just hours before Liverpoolâs blockbuster Champions League showdown with Real Madrid, fresh revelations have surfaced regarding Florian Wirtzâs summer transfer â and itâs left fans stunned. đłâ˝
The German midfielder, who sealed a record-breaking ÂŁ116 million move from Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield during the summer, was reportedly seconds away from joining Real Madrid instead â had the Spanish giants made their move in time.
The revelation came from Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro, who claimed in a recent interview that Wirtz was keen on a move to Madrid, but Los Blancos never formalized their interest.
> âFlorian wanted to win the Champions League. If Madrid had come for him, he wouldâve gone there immediately,â Carro explained.
Liverpool, who had just lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid in a shock transfer, acted fast to rebuild, signing big names like Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Hugo Ekitike alongside Wirtz.
However, the 22-year-old has endured a slow start to life in England, recording only three assists in 14 games so far. Spanish outlet Defensa Central now reports that Xabi Alonso â Wirtzâs former manager at Leverkusen â has asked Real Madrid to monitor the midfielderâs situation closely. đ
Speaking about his former player, Alonso offered words of encouragement before the big game:
> âI know his talent. Itâs only a matter of time before he finds his rhythm at Liverpool. Flo is special â heâll adapt and shine soon.â
As the Champions League lights shine on Anfield tonight, all eyes will be on Wirtz â the man who couldâve worn white instead of red. â¨đĽ
