Man City eying Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz

As they consider a transfer bid for Florian Wirtz, who is also desired by Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester City is prepared to try providing players and money to Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen had identified Oscar Bobb and James McAtee of Man City as possible successors to Wirtz, who is anticipated to depart the team next summer.

Sources have told CaughtOffside that City now hopes to get ahead of their rivals by utilizing McAtee or Bobb as part of any deal. The Germany international is a world-class player with a bright future in the game.

Amid concerns over Mohamed Salah’s future, Liverpool is also interested in Wirtz, and Arsenal is becoming more conscious of the need to inject more energy into their attack.

Nevertheless, City appears to be in a strong position to win the competition for the 21-year-old’s signing because they would be willing to let go of McAtee or Bobb to Leverkusen.

At a young age, Wirtz has already demonstrated enormous promise, and it has long been obvious that he will have a successful career at the highest level.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Kevin De Bruyne’s long-term future at the Etihad Stadium, City would be wise to sign the youthful playmaker. In many respects, Wirtz appears to be the perfect long-term replacement for the Belgium international, and De Bruyne is not getting any younger.

However, it will be intriguing to observe how Arsenal and Liverpool react to this and possibly make their own alluring offers. Given that City isn’t playing at their best right now, Florian Wirtz would undoubtedly consider Anfield and the Emirates Stadium as additional alluring locations for his next move.
