Manchester City is already preparing for a deep restructuring this summer, and all signs point to Florian Wirtz being the main protagonist of Pep Guardiola's new project. Following the confirmation of Kevin De Bruyne's departure, an undisputed legend of the 'citizen' team, the club is already working towards the future and is clear that Bayer Leverkusen's attacking midfielder is the ideal replacement to take over from the Belgian.
According to 'Mirror', City would be willing to make an offer of 100 million pounds (around 117 million euros) to convince the German club to release their great gem. In addition, the player would be offered a long-term contract with very attractive economic conditions, befitting a true superstar.
Work is already underway for his signing, but it will not be easy
However, the operation will not be simple. Despite the collective drop in performance in recent weeks, Bayer Leverkusen considers Wirtz an essential piece. At just 21 years old, the German international has had a spectacular season: 15 goals and 13 assists in 39 official matches, figures that confirm his maturity and importance in the team.
The new City sporting director, Hugo Viana, is already working closely with Txiki Begiristain to finalize this strategic signing as soon as possible. At the Etihad, they are certain: if anyone can inherit De Bruyne's midfield throne, it is Florian Wirtz.
