Real Madrid STILL in for Wirtz despite Liverpool talks! ⚔️ Florian Wirtz is in advanced talks with Liverpool, but Real Madrid aren’t backing down! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸 Xabi Alonso’s arrival at Madrid could be the game-changer—Wirtz thrived under him at Leverkusen! 🔥 Bayern Munich’s president hints at a Liverpool lean, but Los Blancos believe the deal isn’t done yet

Despite advanced talks between Liverpool and the Bayer Leverkusen star, Real Madrid aren’t giving up without a fight. Los Blancos have made it clear behind the scenes that they believe the deal for Wirtz is not done yet, and they’re ready to test the waters one more time.

The key factor? Xabi Alonso.

With the Spanish tactician heavily tipped to take over at the Santiago Bernabéu this summer, Madrid insiders are confident Alonso’s potential arrival could swing the pendulum in their favour. Wirtz thrived under Alonso’s guidance at Leverkusen, blossoming into one of Europe’s most exciting attacking midfielders. The pair share a strong relationship — and Madrid are hoping to use that to their advantage.

In today’s press conference, Bayern Munich’s president subtly leaned towards Liverpool, hinting that the Premier League giants are in the driving seat. But Madrid are undeterred. Club officials reportedly still view Wirtz as a perfect long-term replacement for the ageing Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos, both of whom are expected to leave at the end of next season.

Sources close to the Bernabéu claim that while Liverpool might be ahead for now, Florentino Pérez is prepared to sanction a blockbuster offer — especially if Alonso gives the green light.

With the summer window fast approaching, this transfer race looks set to go down to the wire.
