Manchester City trying to hijack move for Bundesliga star, Pep Guardiola sees player as a replacement for De Bruyne: Reports

  • Manchester City are attempting to intervene in Bayern Munich's pursuit of 22-year-old Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen ahead of this summer's transfer window.
  • This transfer saga stems from Kevin De Bruyne's expected departure when his contract expires in June, with Wirtz seen as his replacement.
  • Bayern Munich reportedly agreed a verbal deal with Wirtz's camp on a five-year contract offering around €25 million yearly, but Leverkusen demand €150 million from rivals complicate negotiations.
  • Wirtz has scored 16 goals and assisted 15 times in 44 appearances this season, making him one of Europe's most sought-after playmakers who prefers Bayern or Real Madrid over City.
  • If Manchester City completes the transfer, it would fill the creative void left by De Bruyne's exit but may depend on Wirtz agreeing to personal terms amid his reluctance to join City.
