Revealed: the reason behind Florian Wirtz's rejection this summer

Florian Wirtz did not join Real Madrid for a specific reason, and the reason is surprising

There was a considerable number of names on Real Madrid's wish list, among which was Leverkusen's great star, Florian Wirtz. The German footballer ended up finally moving to Liverpool, where things aren't going very well at the start of this season. However, the most recent reports indicate that, despite the interest, Real Madrid didn't really try to sign the German.

This would explain why there really wasn't any competition from Real Madrid against Liverpool. Although it also seems to be a rather logical decision, considering it was going to be an extremely expensive transfer. In any case, the player is now at Liverpool and the decisions made have had their repercussions.

Madrid didn't intervene

The white team had been keeping an eye on this young footballer for some time since his time at Bayer Leverkusen. When he seemed to be one of the options for the midfield and attack of the white team, they ended up passing on him. This was due to the exorbitant amount the German team was asking for his signing.

In the end, Liverpool ended up paying more than €100 million (over €100 million) for the signing of this footballer, who remains a great player today. This made the operation extremely unfeasible, considering there were other more important moves to make. In fact, the merengue team invested a similar amount in moves like Álvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen.

Now it just seems unbelievable that Liverpool spent this amount and even more, reaching up to €500 million (up to €500 million). Although there's still a lot to see regarding what he can achieve with the British team, he hasn't started off on the right foot in this new stage. However, the possibility isn't ruled out that in the not-so-distant future they might try to go after his signing from the English club.

It will be another time

What is clear is that the interest is still there and that, in some way, they'll look for a way to attract him to Real Madrid again. If things don't go well for the British club, then maybe an opening could arise toward Spain. For now, the decisions have already been made and the merengue team seems to have made the best one for the well-being of its squad and fans.
