Rumours swirling around Anfield have taken a dramatic twist as reports suggest Liverpool could shockingly approve a blockbuster swap deal that sends Florian Wirtz to Real Madrid and brings Vinicius Junior to Merseyside.
Wirtz, who arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in July for a staggering £100m, has struggled to find his spark in England. Despite showing flashes of creativity—ranking high for chance creation—he’s yet to record a goal or assist in his first 11 Premier League outings. Injuries haven’t helped either, with the German midfielder missing recent games through a muscle issue.
But the real jaw-dropper?
Spanish legend Gaizka Mendieta believes Liverpool should hand Wirtz over to Madrid… in exchange for Vinicius Jr., who is reportedly unhappy under Xabi Alonso.
Mendieta hinted that Alonso’s admiration for Wirtz from their Leverkusen days could push Madrid to consider the trade—while Vinicius, a former Ballon d’Or runner-up, might thrive in the Premier League if backed properly
With Madrid’s midfield already overcrowded and Vinicius refusing a new contract, this rumour is spreading fast… and the football world is watching closely
Is a Wirtz-for-Vinicius swap really possible? Or just transfer fantasy?
