Progress is reportedly being made in Manchester City’s pursuit of a German international | OneFootball

Manchester City’s pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder is by now well known. He is arguably City’s dream signing to add creativity to a squad that will lose Kevin De Bruyne at the end of this season. Now a new report indicates that Manchester City’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz is progressing. They have laid out their plan for the German international and he is reportedly impressed with City’s vision for him at the club.

Srinivas Sadhanand has relayed a report from Graeme Bailey for TBR Football that Manchester City have promised Florian Wirtz that he will replace Kevin De Bruyne in their squad. Furthermore, the TBR Football report indicates that Wirtz has been told that he will be the heartbeat of Pep Guardiola’s side. This has reportedly impressed the German international. TBR Football also reports that Manchester City and Bayern Munich have been told that they could sign Wirtz this summer. Real Madrid also has an interest in signing Wirtz, it is further reported. Lastly, the TBR Football report indicates that City believe they have impressed Florian Wirtz and that their bid to sign him is progressing.

All of a sudden the possibility that City could sign Florian Wirtz seems very real. For the longest time, it appeared that Wirtz was destined to one day sign for Bayern Munich. Typically, that is where all big-name German players end up. But this time it does feel different. There is a ready-made role for Wirtz in Manchester City’s rebuild. He can become the creative hub for Pep Guardiola’s side if he signs for the club this summer. That idea may be Manchester City’s major selling point over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Playing with Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and others could see Wirtz take his game to another level.

Summary.

Based on the TBR Football report it seems that Manchester City’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz is progressing. They have put a tempting offer in front of the German international. Recent updates do give a positive outlook on City’s pursuit of the Bayer Leverkusen star. It now seems that Manchester City have a good chance of signing the biggest prize that could be on offer this summer.
