Real Madrid will try to land Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool are already willing to sell Florian Wirtz at the end of the season with Real Madrid ready to bid, according to reports.
The Reds made a big splash in the summer transfer window with FSG allowing over £400m to be spent on new additions as they looked to build on Arne Slot’s Premier League title win.
However, many of their additions have failed to make a big impact this season as Liverpool have regressed from last term.
Liverpool are currently seventh in the Premier League table after winning just six of their last 17 fixtures in all competitions under Slot.
The signings of Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Alexander Isak from Newcastle United were the most eye-catching deals of the summer for Liverpool and in the Premier League in general.
Wirtz signed in an initial deal worth £100m with a further £16m in add-ons from the Bundesliga side but he has failed to live up to expectations.

The Germany international is yet to contribute a goal or an assist in 15 Premier League matches since moving to Anfield, while he’s got two assists in the Champions League this term.
And now Spanish website Defensa Central are claiming that Liverpool ‘agree to sell’ Wirtz to Real Madrid in a potential deal worth around €110m (£96m).
Wirtz’s ‘future could take an unexpected turn’ as the Premier League side ‘are opening the door for his departure’ from Anfield in the summer.
The report adds: ‘As we’ve mentioned, Real Madrid has Wirtz on their shortlist as a potential signing. This is especially true if Xabi Alonso manages to turn things around and secure his position as manager. If he wins a major title at the end of the season and remains in charge, they might consider signing him.’
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano explained last month what to expect from Liverpool in the January transfer market.
Romano said on the Here We Go Podcast: “I think it’s a possibility [that Liverpool make a signing in January].

“It’s something that, maybe if you ask me this question in September or early October, the answer was probably Liverpool didn’t want to do anything else because they were very happy with their summer transfer window. They invested a lot of money.
“So Liverpool were really excited to see this team performing despite a difficult start in terms of long term.”
“Now obviously is already more than three months into the season.”
“Liverpool are doing very bad and so they are considering the possibility to enter into the January transfer window with some sort of activity.
“We will see about the positions because this could depend on the next weeks. So nothing will be decided now, today, tomorrow or next week.
“It might take some time, some weeks, to decide maybe which position they want to cover.
“But Liverpool start considering internally the possibility to add maybe one player in the January transfer window and again, based on injuries, based on opportunities, based on the market, we will see what they want to do.”
We make the trip up to Everton on Saturday, looking for a victory that would ensure we remain top of the Premier League for Christmas, and you can watch the best of our preparations with the latest edition of Inside Training.
Our 2-1 win over Wolves maintained our unbeaten run at Emirates Stadium this season, and we’ll be looking to follow last weekend’s result up with another win in what will be our very first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Didi Hamann has warned Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz that Liverpool could look to sell the pair next year if they don’t improve. The Reds twice broke the British transfer record last summer to sign both players, first agreeing a deal worth up to £116m to land the German from Bayer Leverkusen before parting with £125m to sign the Swede from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day.
However, the pair are yet to live up to their hefty price-tags with Arne Slot’s men ultimately struggling during the first half of the season.
Isak has struggled with fitness issues, having endured a disrupted pre-season at Newcastle in a bid to force through an exit, and has scored just one Premier League goal since joining Liverpool.

Making 15 appearances in all competitions, he boasts two goals in total for the Reds but remains some way off top form, having had to play catch-up following his move to Anfield after a summer spent training on his own.
Meanwhile, Wirtz has shown signs of improvement as he continues to adapt to the Premier League following his return from injury after the November international break. But he is yet to produce a goal contribution in the English top-flight since joining Liverpool, with his overall Reds record standing at zero goals and three assists from 21 appearances.
Liverpool are currently enjoying a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions following morale-boosting victories over Inter Milan and Brighton & Hove Albion, and sit seventh in the Premier League table heading into the festive period – two points off the Champions League places.
