Florian Wirtz’s parents saw City officials on Tuesday during a flying visit in England but didn’t speak to Pep Guardiola, with the club’s manager out of the region ahead of the FA Cup final this weekend.
City has long sought to entice Wirtz to join the team
Given that Kevin De Bruyne left the Etihad Stadium after ten years, City has long sought to entice Wirtz to join the team and is moving forward with trying to negotiate a deal.
Last week, Mail Sport reported that City is awaiting word on the 22-year-old’s talks with his parents, Hans and Karin, over the course of his career.
That is the same situation he had regarding Bayern Munich
This news has arisen after Florian Wirtz’s entourage had reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for his move to the Etihad Stadium locker room this summer. That is the same situation he had regarding Bayern Munich, with only the agreement with his original team missing.
According to reports, Wirtz has changed his mind about joining City in recent months, and the offensive midfielder finds the Premier League appealing.
Wirtz’s mother believes that he should remain at Bayer Leverkusen for another season
However, Wirtz’s mother believes that he should remain at Bayer Leverkusen for another season, and Bayern Munich is also interested in signing him.
Additionally, Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring the £126 million star, according to Kicker.

According to reports, Wirtz visited Liverpool’s facilities with his parents and representatives and spoke with senior club officials, including the sporting leadership under new manager Arne Slot.
The itinerary included meetings all day long and a private jet trip to England on Tuesday. According to the source, Liverpool is “making efforts to seduce” the youngster, despite earlier speculation that he will join Munich.
City has several summer transfer targets, including Wirtz.
Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest and Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan are also being considered. If Éderson is enticed away by the Saudi Pro League, City will try to add a goalkeeper and a right-back.
