Fabrizio Romano announces Wirtz's signing, his future settled, and he will sign in a few days.

Real Madrid has multiple targets in this summer's transfer market. In addition to significantly strengthening their depleted defensive line, heavily affected by medical absences and the departures of key players, there are some positions that need at least one more signing. The midfield is one of them.

Toni Kroos's retirement last summer, as well as Luka Modric's confirmed farewell this season, significantly reduce the creative capabilities of Madrid's midfield. Xabi Alonso, who will take charge of the team before the Club World Cup, has already alerted the Valdebebas offices of this adverse circumstance... while also proposing the ideal signing to solve this situation.

In this context, Xabi Alonso has made it clear on more than one occasion that Florian Wirtz is the footballer Real Madrid needs to regain creativity. Only then would they more quickly return to the winning path lost during the current soccer season. But the signing of Florian Wirtz has undergone major changes that distance him from Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed one of these latest changes. According to the Italian journalist's information, Bayer Leverkusen's '10' has made it clear to the leaders headed by Fernando Carro which would be his next club: Liverpool. The transalpine reporter makes it clear that Wirtz is currently only considering a move to Liverpool, leaving out teams like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid itself.

There's no turning back

The negotiations between the red squad and Florian Wirtz's personal and professional circle have reportedly evolved in a quick and satisfactory manner, given that a contractual agreement already exists. Fabrizio Romano seems to indicate that it would be a matter of time before Liverpool secures the services of a midfielder sought after by other elite European clubs.

The conversations between the clubs involved in Florian Wirtz's signing are already underway, Fabrizio Romano indicates, making his incorporation in white impossible. "It won't be a long saga", Fabrizio Romano states about the future of the '10' werkself during this 2025 summer market.

Real Madrid has barely attempted to secure the services of the German midfielder. The high transfer fee requested from the BayArena's noble area, approximately 120 million euros, seemed high for the executives led by Florentino Pérez. Only a major departure, such as Rodrygo Goes, could have enabled Real Madrid's entry into this saga that now turns red for Liverpool.

"Liverpool is confident in sealing the deal soon," Fabrizio Romano states. With those words, the Italian journalist solves Florian Wirtz's future and removes a significant option from the white team's list of potential midfielders. Xabi Alonso will have to make new requests at the Valdebebas offices.
