Manchester City admires Bayer Leverkusen’s No.10, Florian Wirtz, who has rapidly risen in prominence in Germany. The Athletic reports this interest as the January transfer window approaches.
However, the likelihood of Manchester City signing Florian Wirtz in January seems slim. The Athletic mentioned City’s interest but ruled out a transfer this month as Bayer Leverkusen appears unwilling to consider major transfers at Etihad Stadium.
City scouts have observed the 20-year-old in action this season and were reportedly impressed. Wirtz’s impressive statistics of eight goals and 12 assists in 23 appearances this season have caught attention.
According to TEAMtalk in Germany, Manchester City was quoted a fee of £87 million to secure the services of the talented midfielder from Pulheim.
While it’s early in 2024, Manchester City has already secured one signing. Claudio Echeverri has agreed to a £22 million deal with River Plate, expected to be announced soon. However, he might be loaned back to River Plate until possibly 2025.
Additionally, Leeds United wonder kid Finlay Gorman is also set to join Manchester City, bidding farewell to his former club on Instagram ahead of his anticipated record-breaking move.
Keep an eye on developments at Etihad Stadium, as further transfer activity could unfold in January.
