Manchester City given blow as Florian Wirtz makes transfer decision

Manchester City have constantly been on the lookout for top talent across Europe. From Jamal Musiala to Florian Wirtz , several good players have been linked to City recently. However, City have been keen to bring in either Musiala or Wirtz next season, with the situation of the former yet to be decided. However, recent development regarding Wirtz’s situation at Bayer Leverkusen has proven to be a blow for the Cityzens.

Wirtz forward is reportedly keen on joining German giants Bayern Munich over City and Real Madrid. He played a huge role in Bayer Leverkusen’s unexpected triumph over Bayern Munich’s dominance in the Bundesliga. He is widely considered to be the next big thing from Leverkusen following Kai Havertz and is likely to break the €100 million mark when he finds a new club in 2025.

The player believes that remaining in his hometown is the right move at this stage of his career. Wirtz has kicked off the new season under Xabi Alonso with 6 goals and an assist in all competitions. As for City, the club are expecting a busy transfer window given the delicate situation of Ederson, Stefan Ortega and Rodri.
