The midfielder Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen has ‘caught the attention’ of Manchester City due to his outstanding performances at the start of this season.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City is one of a number of teams considering a possible transfer for the 20-year-old.
According to them, Wirtz has returned to Barcelona’s agenda after an eventful start to the season that has Bayer Leverkusen in first place of the Bundesliga standings.
They’ve also advanced in the DFB Pokal and won their initial Europa League match, making for a strong start that has attracted a lot of interest.
One of those who has been putting in “notable” performances is midfielder Wirtz, who has entirely put his physical issues from last season behind him.
With three goals and three assists in just seven games, he has already caught the attention of major league teams.
Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona have all expressed “renewed interest” in him and are closely monitoring his progress this year.
considering that Wirtz is under contract to them until 2027 without a release clause, a deal seems implausible considering that his price might rise to at least €100 million.
That’s currently out of reach for the Catalans, but not for teams like Manchester City, which may provide them an advantage over their rivals at this early point.
