Florian Wirtz’s Liverpool departure discussion has re-emerged after it was reported in Spain that the midfielder would be willing to leave Anfield after a poor first half of his Premier League time. The scenario has drawn concern since Real Madrid has continually been mentioned as his destination of choice on the basis of his success with Xabi Alonso before.
He came at a British record price, which was approximately 116 million pounds, and with huge expectations for Liverpool after the 22-year-old was recruited by Liverpool in the summer of 2025 after leaving Bayer Leverkusen. His initial season has not been easy as he has not scored any goals in 22 matches in all competitions, and this has resulted in more scrutiny, instead of panic within the club.
Closely related sources to Liverpool argue that there is no intention to dispose of the German international and no regression on investment made. His problems internally are considered to be a normal process of adaptation to the physical requirements of the league and tactics.
Any talk about a reunion with Alonso at Real Madrid has been squashed in Spain this week. Clubs in Madrid maintain that the club is not interested in initiating any negotiations, although it is argued that Wirtz would be interested should his former manager seek to do so.
There has also been unconfirmed information of a potential swap between Arda Gulera and a possible swap among other sources, not substantiated. Liverpool have not given any signs that they are considering any offer, and a January transfer is deemed to be too extreme by those close to the case.
Together with the Wirtz debate, Real Madrid have made a clear statement on another protracted saga by terminating their interest in Erling Haaland. Kylian Mbappé is said to be contented by club officials as their central attacking player, and they do not need another high-profile striker.
This is a relief decision for Manchester City, who at the beginning of the year renewed Haaland to a long-term contract till 2034. Though the Norwegian is already connected to the move to Spain in the future, Madrid is not campaigning for any acquisition.
In the Florian Wirtz Liverpool departure rumors, the winter-window speculation reporting still remains largely in the hands of speculative reporting as opposed to actual developments. More credible sources indicate that the club is not in a rush, pointing to the indications of physical progress and more active participation in recent games.
At this point, Liverpool is still concentrating on helping Wirtz settle in as well as keeping a watch on the attacking opportunities through the injury of Alexander Isak. As it is, the two scenarios are headed towards stability and not ominous transfers, as the noise cannonade.
