Xabi Alonso is a ‘huge’ fan of Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz and is keen for Chelsea to sign him this summer in a sensational move, sources have told Football Insider.
The Blues hold a strong interest in the 23-year-old just one year after the Merseyside giants signed him from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £116million.
Wirtz has failed to live up to that price tag this season, ultimately ending the campaign with consecutive appearances off the bench.
Sources say Liverpool would be open to letting Wirtz go for the right deal even though they would publicly deny that.
