Man City planning to rival Real Madrid in move for Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz

IKEJA, Nigeria - Feb. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- Florian Richard Wirtz is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen and the Germany national team. He is regarded as one of the best players in the world. Florian Wirtz is a talented German footballer born on May 3, 2003. He currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Wirtz has gained recognition for his skills and has played extensively in the Bundesliga, appearing in 131 matches and winning 74 of them. His promising career has attracted interest from top clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Manchester City are set to go head-to-head with rivals Real Madrid again this summer in a battle for £85m-rated midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Pep Guardiola is desperate to continue rebuilding his squad after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, The Daily Mail reports, and sees Germany star Wirtz as a major player in the club's future. Leverkusen value their talisman at more than £85 million ($107m). De Bruyne is out of contract in the summer of 2025 and no renewal has been agreed, potentially leaving a vacancy for a younger replacement.

Wirtz has been a major part of the Bayer Leverkusen side that has been one of the best in Europe over the last 18 months. The German scored 18 goals and registered 20 assists as Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal and reached the Europa League final last term, and has notched another 26 goal involvements this season as they battle for the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Wirtz also starred for hosts Germany at Euro 2024 last summer, and a move to one of the richest clubs in the world is an inevitability at some stage. Bayern Munich are also said to be interested, with the Bavarians hoping to team him up with international team-mate Jamal Musiala. City are bound to face competition from elsewhere for his signature, too.
