Manchester City have set their sights on Bayer Leverkusen’s 21-year-old midfielder Florian Wirtz.
The club plans to secure his signature as part of an ambitious summer overhaul.
Wirtz dazzles with creative flair and dynamic style. City view him as the perfect replacement for Kevin de Bruyne in their midfield engine.
The youngster has only months remaining on his current contract. City have yet to renew his deal, which adds urgency to their pursuit.
The club splashed £180 million on new signings in January and now targets five key positions ahead of the next transfer window. This proactive strategy aims to refresh the squad and boost competitiveness.
City face stiff competition from European giants such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Insiders expect the fee to hover around £100 million to secure Wirtz’s move.
Wirtz brings versatility to the pitch by playing as an attacking midfielder and operating on the wing. His profile fits the City system perfectly and offers tactical flexibility.
Manchester City wrestle with midfield uncertainty. Key players like Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan face unclear futures, while Rodri must regain his form. City also monitor Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton, who impressed after his return from injury.
City plan to redefine their midfield under Pep Guardiola’s guidance. The club aims to build a stronger squad and push for glory on all fronts in the coming season.
