In the past few days, rumors surrounding Florian Wirtz’s future have escalated, with the German star linked to both Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Initially, Bayern seemed the frontrunner, but according to Sport Bild’s Christian Falk (via @iMiaSanMia), Manchester City has emerged as a serious contender for the 20-year-old midfielder.
Pep Guardiola’s interest in Wirtz is clear, as the Manchester City manager seeks a potential successor to Kevin De Bruyne.
Reports suggest that Manchester City is prepared to meet Bayer Leverkusen’s €150 million price tag for Wirtz. This is a significant development, given Bayern’s interest, which reportedly includes a potential initial bid of around €100 million.
Bayern, however, seems content to wait another year before making a more substantial move. But with City actively pursuing Wirtz, it seems unlikely that the midfielder will remain at Leverkusen for another season.
According to Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas (via @iMiaSanMia), there is “a verbal agreement on the framework of a deal” between Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen. This is an important step forward, though it’s clear that Wirtz himself has yet to make a final decision on his future.
City is keen on bringing Wirtz to the Etihad Stadium, aware that Leverkusen would prefer to sell to them over Bayern. While Bayern remains confident in their ability to persuade Wirtz, tensions between the two Bundesliga clubs could play a role in how negotiations unfold.
It’s worth noting that the current situation leaves room for plenty of movement. While a verbal agreement is in place, Wirtz’s decision will be key in determining his next steps. If Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester City proceed, the transfer could reshape the midfield dynamics at City.
