Bayer director: Wirtz could have moved to Real

According to Bayer club CEO Fernando Carro, if Xabi Alonso had more influence over transfer matters at the Madrid club Real, Florian Wirtz would definitely have been a Real player. Carro said the following in an interview with Sport1: "If Xabi had made the offer, Florian would undoubtedly have gone to Madrid.

However, at Real, Xabi's influence is much lower than it is at Bayer. One of his strengths was his effective cooperation with our scouting department and his ability to clearly define who the team needed.

At Real, however, transfer decisions are made not by Xabi Alonso, but by Florentino Perez." As is known, during the summer transfer window, Florian Wirtz moved from Bayer to Liverpool. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
