Real Madrid Monitors Liverpool's Florian Wirtz Amid Slow Season Start

Florian Wirtz has experienced a challenging start to his career at Liverpool, struggling to replicate his previous form from Bayer Leverkusen, where he was managed by current Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso. Despite an initial assist in the Community Shield, Wirtz has yet to score or assist in Premier League or Champions League matches this season, coinciding with Liverpool suffering three consecutive defeats. Real Madrid, under Alonso's direction, is closely monitoring Wirtz's situation and has been urged by Alonso to keep tabs on the midfielder in case Liverpool opts to sell him. However, Liverpool has no current plans to part with Wirtz, who remains under contract until 2030, and the club appears patient, seeking to help him find form. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has rebounded well in La Liga following an early defeat, maintaining top position, yet remains alert to transfer opportunities involving Wirtz. Alonso's familiarity with Wirtz and belief in his potential to succeed at Real Madrid under his management fuels the club's watchful interest.
