Manchester City looking to 'break' the market with the signing of Florian Wirtz

The 2025 transfer market is set to be a momentous one for Florian Wirtz's career. The German midfielder has established himself as one of the great young stars of football and several of the continent's biggest clubs are fighting to sign him. FC Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are said to be the four main candidates to take the player, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in 2027 and would have a starting price of 150 million euros.

The two big clubs in Spain are reportedly following the player's steps very closely at the BayArena, and would want to add him to their ranks next summer. The Catalans want to add a renowned star to Hansi Flick's team and Wirtz is said to be among the board's favourites, while the Merengues are preparing for the possible departure of Luka Modric and see the German as the ideal replacement for the Real Madrid '10'.

The biggest threat to the bidding process would be in the Premier League

However, City would be pushing to become the big candidate to sign Wirtz, as reported by 'TEAMtalk'. The 'skyblues' are preparing for a revolution during the next summer window and the midfielder would be a priority, since Kevin De Bruyne could pack his bags for Saudi Arabia.

For this reason, and considering him the perfect replacement for the Belgian in midfield, the 'citizens' would be seriously considering putting all the 'meat on the grill' for Florian, which could mean paying the 150 'kilos' demanded by aspirin for his transfer. However, this operation would be subject to the resolution of the 115 accusations of the Premier against the club, although if the Mancunians come out well they will be the rival to beat for Barça and Madrid.
