Xabi Alonso Urges Real Madrid to Monitor Florian Wirtz Following Tough Start at Liverpool

Xabi Alonso, manager of REAL MADRID, has reportedly urged club officials to monitor Florian Wirtz closely.

The ex-Liverpool player effectively harnessed Wirtz’s skills during their shared tenure at Bayer Leverkusen.

Nonetheless, Wirtz is undergoing a challenging adjustment phase at Merseyside.

As it stands, he has not scored or assisted in ten appearances for the Reds across all tournaments.

This is particularly concerning given the substantial £116.5 million transfer fee for his signing.

According to Defensa Central, Alonso is eager for Real Madrid to keep tabs on Wirtz, especially if his struggles persist, and he may contemplate a transfer away.

The manager might get an opportunity to reconnect with his former Leverkusen player when Los Blancos face Liverpool in a Champions League clash in under a month.

However, it seems improbable that the Merseysiders would allow Wirtz to depart within a year of such a significant financial commitment.

Yet, signs of adaptation issues are evident.

The 22-year-old was omitted from the starting eleven prior to Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Chelsea.

This pivotal choice by manager Arne Slot had been anticipated.

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher previously indicated that Wirtz should be benched before the match.

He stated on CBS Sports: “The team’s balance isn’t right, and the clear issue is Florian Wirtz.”

Florian Wirtz’s TikTok star partner is referred to as ‘the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen’ ahead of his £116m transfer to Liverpool.

“He’s not performing at all. As a young player adapting to a new league, he has time to acclimate, but for now, he should step back from the starting lineup.”

“Liverpool needs to regain their form from last season and focus on rebuilding confidence while ensuring defensive solidity. Things are rather chaotic at present.”

The tactical adjustments at Stamford Bridge did not produce the desired outcomes.

With Dominik Szoboszlai stepping in for Wirtz, Liverpool conceded a late goal in the 95th minute from Estevao.

The Reds have now fallen to second place in the Premier League after suffering three consecutive defeats.
