"That year (2025), it simply wasn't the right time [for Real Madrid] due to the squad and the budget. Even Real Madrid's coffers aren't always overflowing. But my wish remains that Florian will play there one day."
"I wasn't deeply enough involved in the offers that were on the table. My greatest wish, of course, would have been to facilitate a move to Real Madrid for Wirtz."
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool last summer for £116 million, briefly making him the most expensive signing in Premier League history. After a slow start with limited goal contributions, Wirtz has since accumulated 11 goal contributions since December, helping stabilize Liverpool's season. However, his agent Volker Struth has publicly revealed plans to pursue a transfer to Real Madrid, citing budget constraints as the reason Real Madrid didn't move for Wirtz in 2025. Struth expressed his wish for Wirtz to play at the Bernabéu and hinted that Wirtz shares this ambition, creating uncertainty about the German playmaker's future at Liverpool.
