According to Sky Sport, 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.
Florian Wirtz’s entourage had reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City
Bayer Leverkusen still hasn’t registered any transfer offer sent by any club, so they are still waiting for that first move from Bayern Munich or Manchester City. Aside from that approach to the noble area of the BayArena, Sky Sport reminds that Bayern Munich offers Florian Wirtz the highest salary.
The verbal agreement reached with Manchester City brings him closer to the Premier League, a future that the bosses led by Fernando Carro favor much more. The ‘werkself’ board wishes to avoid Florian Wirtz’s departure to their great rival in the Bundesliga, favoring approaches from Manchester City or Real Madrid.
Wirtz helped Bayern Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title in 2023/24
Wirtz helped Bayern Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title in 2023/24 as he started 26 games for them. He has also been their highest-rated player in this campaign with 20 G/A this season.
This news has arisen after last week Bayern Munich had entered the race for the midfielder with great enthusiasm and the highest salary. Real Madrid were also among the suitors as Xabi Alonso has already reached an agreement with Los Blancos to become the coach of Real Madrid and many considered that the Spaniard would be keen on taking the German with him.
Pep might have struck gold as it is most likely that the German would be heading to the Premier league
Pep might have struck gold as it is most likely that the German would be heading to the Premier league. It also feels right as Kevin De Bruyne is also leaving Manchester City this season and Manchester City will now be looking to replace him with the expertise of Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz is also the closest profile in the football world to Kevin De Bruyne, as he provided the dynamic nature of an attacking midfielder as he can progress with the ball on the field and also finish like a striker. He will also be providing quality through balls and assists to Erling Haaland who would dearly miss the company of KDB.
