Manchester City prepare €105m bid for Florian Wirtz, rivaling Real Madrid’s interest
Fichajes reports that Manchester City is ready to make a big investment in the next transfer window, with Florian Wirtz as their main target. Pep Guardiola’s side is preparing a €105m offer for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, who is seen as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.
Wirtz has been one of the standout performers under Xabi Alonso, attracting the interest of major European clubs, including Real Madrid. However, competition from City could complicate his move to the Bernabeu.
Leverkusen is unwilling to part with their star, but with just two years left on his contract, they may be forced to sell if a renewal isn’t agreed. City hopes to outbid others with a strong offer.
Real Madrid has not made a final decision on whether to pursue Wirtz now or in the future, with other priorities like Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially putting them at a disadvantage. This summer could be pivotal for Wirtz’s future.
