“Wirtz will not leave unless Xabi calls him”
Didi Hamann, former player, analyzes Wirtz’s performance so far and believes that he will not succeed at Liverpool and only sees one way out, Madrid: “It’s already Christmas and he still hasn’t scored a goal. I’ve seen almost all of their games. His best performances have been in the Champions League, where football is a little different. It’s not as frenetic, fast or physical. How long do you want to wait? The club is protecting him. Something has to happen. If things continue like this until February or March, then a decision has to be made about what to do in the summer. You cannot retain a player who cost 140 million for a yearwho was signed, even though he was young, hoping that the situation would change. He hasn’t done it. He can’t do anything. “He won’t leave in winter, unless Xabi Alonso says he loves him.”
