Liverpool fans have been left stunned after a dramatic revelation surrounding and his future.

The German star, who arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2025 for a then-record £116 million fee from , is once again at the centre of transfer speculation — and this time, it’s his own agent making headlines.

A Slow Start — Then a Spark ✨

Wirtz initially found it difficult to hit top form in the Premier League after his blockbuster move to .

It wasn’t until late December — during a narrow 2–1 victory over Wolves — that he finally opened his goal account for the Reds. Since then, however, the 22-year-old has begun to justify the hype.

He has added five more goals and contributed eight assists across 35 appearances, showing clear signs that he is adapting to English football and life on Merseyside.

But just as things appeared to be settling down, a fresh twist has emerged.

Agent Reveals Real Madrid Contact 👀

Wirtz’s representative, Volker Struth, has now disclosed that he personally pushed for a move to during last summer’s transfer window.

Speaking to German media, Struth explained that while Liverpool and Bayern Munich were competing for the midfielder’s signature, he reached out to , who had just taken charge in Madrid after leaving Leverkusen.

According to Struth, he told Alonso to bring Wirtz with him to Spain. The response? Take it up with club president .

And he did exactly that.

Struth revealed he sent a direct message to Pérez, strongly recommending Wirtz and claiming the playmaker could improve any team in world football. The message was reportedly forwarded to Madrid CEO José Ángel Sánchez — but no transfer materialised.

Why Didn’t the Move Happen?

Real Madrid ultimately strengthened in other areas, bringing in several new faces instead. Financial considerations and squad balance reportedly played a role in the decision not to pursue Wirtz at that time.

However, Struth made one comment that will certainly raise eyebrows on Merseyside.

He admitted that it remains his personal ambition to see Wirtz play for Real Madrid someday.

What Does This Mean for Liverpool? 🤔

For now, Wirtz remains a Liverpool player and is expected to feature when the Reds return to action against West Ham this weekend.

But with his agent openly discussing Madrid dreams, questions will naturally arise about the long-term picture.

Is this just an honest reflection of past negotiations?

Or could it hint at unfinished business in Spain?

One thing is certain — this story is far from over. 🔥
