Liverpool agree signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen
....

I just have to admit that this deal is probably one of the most important deals so far in the transfer window, I had earlier anticipated that the German midfielder would end up at Real Madrid replacing Luka modric whose contract expired at the end of last season but Liverpool have successfully completed the signing of the highly rated German international, he is a young talented player who will bring his wealth of experience to the Liverpool squad when the season gets on the way, so its a positive news for the Liverpool fans.

Indeed Xabi Alonso should be the favorite to bring his ex player in his new team but Real Madrid president has other things to say. For him, Real Madrid have enough midfielders and he doesn't want to bring anyone, although we all know that Kroos in particular couldn't be replaced that easily and with Modric out of the team too, things will be messier. Bellingham couldn't replace them and changing his position affected his performance for example.
Congratulations for Liverpool the consolidation of the team.

Well it seems as if one man's mistake has ended up benefiting the other, there is no way the Real Madrid president could have successfully convinced me that the club has lots of midfielders because if you check the entire squad then you would notice that valverde is the only midfielder left in the squad after the departure of Luka modric from Real Madrid and it was highly anticipated that Xabi Alonso was going to convince his former midfielder to join him in Spain but instead they lost him to Liverpool.
