"Top players didn't get loaned in the past. A loan was for players who didn't get a game, but the top players didn't get loaned. It probably started with Philippe Coutinho a few years ago, when he went for 140 million or something to Barcelona. And a year later he was loaned out to Bayern Munich. I wouldn't rule anything out in today's world, especially in football."
"It's been reported that Xabi Alonso has asked Real Madrid to keep an eye on Florian Wirtz' performances and what he does at Liverpool, I reckon it could be true. Because we know how fondly he talks of him. He was the reason they won the league, they won the cup. He was the heartbeat of the Bayer Leverkusen team with Granit Xhaka, and yeah, they keep an eye on him."
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen as the club's record signing but has struggled to adapt under manager Arne Slot. Real Madrid remain linked with Wirtz despite his slow start at Anfield. Didi Hamann suggested a high-profile loan to Real Madrid in January is possible, citing Philippe Coutinho's loan precedent. Hamann noted that Xabi Alonso reportedly watches Wirtz closely and praised Wirtz's influence at Leverkusen alongside Granit Xhaka. Wirtz's form over roughly ten games has underwhelmed, but Hamann insisted the player remains too talented to write off.
