Manchester City are undergoing major changes behind the scenes as sporting director Txiki Begiristain is set to leave at the end of the season after being in the role since 2012. Hugo Viana will replace Begiristain, with potential transfer deals still in the works before his departure. City are also reportedly behind Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz, who has a €150m price tag. Despite City being behind in the race, Begiristain and Viana may still look to secure Wirtz before the former’s exit from the club.
Wirtz’s impressive record at Leverkusen has attracted interest from top European clubs, with City facing stiff competition from Bayern and Real for his signature. Begiristain’s potential final transfer move at City may involve securing Wirtz before his departure, despite reports suggesting the German is more likely to join Bayern or Real.
