Pep Guardiola is gearing up for another blockbuster summer transfer.
Man City now plans to invest a staggering €200m on a highly-rated duo that promises to transform their squad. Undoubtedly, the reigning Premier League champions are ready to assert their financial authority once again.
By far the biggest spenders in the January transfer window, Man City continue to lead the charge. Despite still awaiting the outcome of 115 charges against them, they show no sign of hesitation. Consequently, the club’s ambition remains as fierce as ever.
An FA Cup win over Leyton Orient will likely boost the club’s bank balance. Moreover, success in cup competitions often serves as a catalyst for further financial flexibility. In this way, every victory adds to the club’s ability to invest in top talent.
With the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules in mind, Pep Guardiola and his team must navigate the rules carefully. In addition, they cannot afford to fall foul of Financial Fair Play at this crucial stage. Thus, every transfer move is weighed with financial precision.

According to reliable sources, Man City has positioned itself for the best chance to sign the Bayer Leverkusen duo. Specifically, the club is targeting Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong for a fee close to €170–200m during the summer window. This strategic move underscores their intent to reinforce the squad.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG are also looking to revitalize their squads ahead of the 25/26 season. Furthermore, a former teammate remarked, “It ended BADLY with Wenger – this nightmare Arsenal legend had problems with EVERYONE,” underscoring the intense competition in the transfer market. As a result, the race for top talent remains fiercely contested.
Florian Wirtz, at 21, has emerged as one of Bayer Leverkusen’s key players in recent seasons. His technical skills and game intelligence make him an ideal candidate to strengthen the midfield. Similarly, Jeremie Frimpong has impressed as a young and quick defender, drawing significant attention from top clubs.
If Pep Guardiola secures this duo, Man City will undoubtedly return stronger in both the Premier League and the Champions League next season. Ultimately, this move could cement their status as financial giants in world football, while sending a powerful message to their rivals.
