Florian Wirtz’s father reveals why his son chose Liverpool over Real Madrid

Hans-Joachim Wirtz, father of Florian Wirtz, has revealed the reasoning behind his son’s decision to choose Liverpool over Real Madrid.

The talented 22-year-old midfielder has been a target for several elite European clubs — including Real Madrid, now managed by Xabi Alonso.

Real Madrid actually held a distinct advantage due to Alonso’s presence — a figure who played a major role in Wirtz’s career development at Bayer Leverkusen.

However, Liverpool manager Arne Slot succeeded in convincing the young German player to join Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
