Following a tough start to life at Liverpool, it seems that Florian Writz has found his rhythm back, as he is contributing in the club's win. It looks that the German midfielder wants to play somewhere else, as his manager, Volker Struth, has dropped some insight on this.
Florian Writz to play for Real Madrid?
Volker Strugth, believes that the German midfielder is the perfect player to play for Real Madrid in the coming future. Writz was grabbing eyeballs with his stunning performances while playing for Bayer Leverkusen which led to his move to Liverpool this season.
Strugth revealed that he tried to persuade then Real Madrid manager, Xabi Alonso to sign Writz last summer but blamed the lack of finances for the deal to happen.
"During the period when a move to Liverpool or Bayern was being discussed, I called Xabi Alonso and told him: 'You have to take the lad from Leverkusen with you to Real'. Xabi replied: 'You don’t have to tell me that, you have to tell Florentino Perez (Real Madrid's president).' So I actually sent him a message: 'Dear Florentino, I’ve told you many times before: I have a player here whom I would highly recommend. Florian Wirtz makes every team in the world better,' said Strugth.
He added that at that point of time, Real Madrid was already stacked with lots of quality player and adding Writz would have been a big problem.
"That year, it simply wasn’t the right time due to the squad and the budget. Even Real Madrid’s coffers aren’t always overflowing. But my wish remains that Florian will play there one day. I wasn't deeply enough involved in the offers that were on the table. My greatest wish, of course, would have been to have Florian at Real Madrid to see – and I don't think I'm alone in that. I also think he would be in very good hands there. He's doing quite well in Liverpool now, he's a very young player and who knows what might happen in his career", he concluded(via GOAL).
Writz was offered lucrative deals from Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, eventually he was signed by the Reds with a record fee of £116 million.
Tough start for Writz at Liverpool
Initially, Writz faced harsh criticism because of his disappointing performances for Liverpool. He was slammed for having a lack of physicality for surviving in English football. But, it looks that he has found his strength back and so far recorded six goals and six assists in 35 outings across all competitions this season.
