Save Wirtz! Revealed that Alonso is eager to renew his relationship and urges Real Madrid to pay close attention

Wiltz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window for £116 million. But he has yet to prove his high price tag, failing to score or assist in 10 appearances for Liverpool. Wirtz started the first few games of the season but was dropped ahead of the Everton game as he struggles to adapt to the Premier League.

Ahead of the start of the league this weekend, a shocking report from Spain claims Xavi Alonso has told Real Madrid bosses to keep an eye on the German midfielder. According to Defensa Central, Alonso "asked Real Madrid to keep a close eye on Wirtz's future at Liverpool". Alonso worked with Wirtz when he was in charge at Bayer Leverkusen and had been hoping to bring him to Real Madrid until Liverpool got the better of him.

Liverpool has many players on Real Madrid's signing list. McAllister or Konate are the two most rumored, but Xabi Alonso seems to have set his sights on another player-Wiltz. Alonso has never forgotten him and hopes to coach him again at the Santiago Bernabeu. The report claims that Alonso's "ultimate dream" is to bring Wirtz to Spain, adding that the 22-year-old "could also welcome such a move as a solution to his current predicament".

Alonso knows that he may play an important role in Wirtz's final decision. Especially since Wirtz has failed to turn things around and continues to face criticism. Despite the constant doubts, Alonso still trusts him because he has a very good relationship with the German player. The Basque coach has been a staunch supporter of Wirtz, having maximized his potential at Bayer Leverkusen.

Real Madrid has been paying attention to Wirtz and plans to introduce him in the summer of 2026. However, Wirtz was eager for a new challenge and ultimately did not choose to join Real Madrid. But now it was an option before him again. Real Madrid and Alonso are keen to sign Wirtz as he is an attractive player. Wirtz himself may also see this move as a good opportunity to escape his current predicament.

However, Liverpool are not willing to let him go easily. The Reds paid a huge financial price to sign him. Therefore, they don't want to lose him after just a few months, let alone join Real Madrid, a team that has taken away Champions League trophies and players from them many times in recent years. Although Wirtz has 0 goals and 0 assists in 10 consecutive games, Slott still maintains confidence in him.

Before Sunday's game against Manchester United, Slott said that Liverpool's No. 7 player has been unlucky and needs time to adapt to the Premier League. "When you're brought in for such a high fee, people mainly focus on goals and assists, but I can tell you he could have had six or seven assists," he told Sky Sports.
