Manchester City are already scouting potential recruits for the summer transfer window, with Florian Wirtz, a forward from Bayer Leverkusen, being one of the players linked to the club. Wirtz has been in impressive form, scoring 11 goals and providing 17 assists in the Bundesliga this season. Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Wirtz has stated that his focus is on the national team and he has plans to continue with Bayer Leverkusen.
At just 20 years old, Wirtz has already drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi for his playing style and effectiveness on the pitch. City reportedly sent scouts to watch him in action back in November, indicating their interest in the talented young forward. With Kevin De Bruyne aging and potentially needing a successor in the midfield, Wirtz could be an attractive option for Guardiola’s side.
Although Wirtz has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027, City have other options in their squad to fill the attacking midfield role, including Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez, Mateo Kovacic, and Matheus Nunes. However, Wirtz’s potential and talent make him a desirable prospect for the English club as they look to strengthen their squad for continued success in the upcoming seasons.
