Florian Wirtz's Response to Xabi Alonso About Whether He Will Go to Real Madrid or Bayern

Wirtz Talks with Xabi Alonso and Makes His Decision Clear Between Madrid and Bayern

Xabi Alonso's Signing for Real Madrid's technical area after Ancelotti's departure is starting to gain even more momentum at this time. Following reports of the Italian's exit after the Clásico against Barcelona, things are looking very favorable for a generational change. With the arrival of the Donostian, it is expected that he can convince his star, Florian Wirtz, to join him at the white team.

However, the German's response has been much more discouraging than some might have wanted. Everything indicates that the young German has made the decision to go to the Bavarian giant, Bayern Munich. This is a hard blow for both Florentino and Alonso, who hoped to bring him to the best club in the world and continue developing him.

Nevertheless, Bayern seems to have resonated much more with the German and, with that, he could become, along with Musiala, the new reference of the Bavarian club. A European threat that Madrid will have to face with Alonso, who will have all the pressure on him.

Wirtz Stays in Germany

Taking the step to a gigantic team like Real Madrid is not an easy decision, especially considering the interest of other giants. However, in Wirtz's case, it seems he hasn't thought much about the decision and has opted to join the giant of his country.

Bayern Munich, throughout its history, has had many of the best players in the world, many of them Germans who have left their mark. Although one of the most important even for their national team, like Kroos, has been taken by the best in history.

In the case of the young German, his stay at Bayer Leverkusen for the next season already seemed very difficult, if not impossible, so his departure was a reality. However, paying the 150M that Leverkusen asks for him is not something Madrid had in mind, hence Alonso's intervention.

They Will Meet Face to Face in Europe

Madrid will now have to build a squad to face anyone with their new coach at the helm and ready to win. Although a clash against Bayern in the Champions League could have much more 'intrigue' following Wirtz's decision.
