Manchester City has a history of acquiring young players from other European clubs, and looking ahead to the next transfer window, they are showing interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz. The 21-year-old midfielder has caught the attention of City, as well as other Premier League rivals like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Leverkusen’s CEO has expressed a preference for selling Wirtz abroad rather than to Bayern Munich, and City seem to be leading the race for his signature, with a reported €150m price tag on the player.
Florian Plettenberg shared updates on Wirtz’s potential transfer, noting Leverkusen’s desire to retain him but willing to sell him if he wants to leave next summer.
