Wirtz halts his signing with Bayern, complete turnaround in 72 hours

Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid offers room for several changes in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. One of the most desired operations by the current Bayer Leverkusen coach is the addition of a creative midfielder to replace Toni Kroos. The absence of the former German '8' has taken a really heavy toll on the merengue sports discipline this season.

One of the footballers who would be on the agenda of the executives led by Florentino Pérez is a direct recommendation from Xabi Alonso himself: the attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz. This werkself footballer, one of the leaders of the German entity, is one of the signings desired by several teams in the European football elite. But Real Madrid would have lost a lot of momentum in that transfer.

At least according to the information published by the magazine Kicker, since Florian Wirtz would be ready to decide his transfer in approximately ten days from now. The pressure from Bayern Munich to acquire his contract would be countered by Liverpool's proposal, which would have pleasantly impressed the '10's family circle. The sources consulted by El Mundo, however, offer another perspective on this transfer.

What seemed like clear approaches to Bayern Munich a few days ago has turned into a paused operation. The radical turn that the 'Wirtz case' has undergone not only implies that the Bavarian squad is a bit further from signing the footballer. Another variable also comes into play: Xabi Alonso and his signing for Real Madrid.

Waiting for the right moment

In the next three days, the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez would announce the departure of Carlo Ancelotti and his direct and immediate replacement in the mister from Tolosa. Florian Wirtz's circle is well aware of that movement, given the 'confession' made by Xabi Alonso himself to his players a few weeks ago. Until now, not much attention had been paid to that circumstance.

But Florian Wirtz would have halted all approaches to Bayern Munich to evaluate the first moves of his current coach at the helm of Santiago Bernabéu locker room. Xabi Alonso would have made it clear to the werkself attacking midfielder that he would do everything possible to try to sign him when he arrives in the Spanish capital.

The signing of Florian Wirtz by Real Madrid, given the insistence of the future merengue coach, would have four conditions set from the Valdebebas offices. The white leadership doesn't seem to be in a hurry to make this operation effective, in case it is on the roadmap for the next summer market. The difference with the thinking of the Bavarian bosses is very clear, because in the noble area of the Allianz Arena they wish to secure that signing now.

Florian Wirtz seems determined, according to the information published by El Mundo, to wait for Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid. Depending on the plans devised by the white sports management, the '10' werkself could detach from Bayern Munich's interest or definitively accelerate his arrival at the Bavarian team.
