Signs Wirtz could be headed to Manchester City

Florian Wirtz's parents made the short trip to Manchester, amid Pep Guardiola's side's determination to sign the German midfielder.

Wirtz could be a blockbuster transfer this summer.

On April 13, Mr. Hans and Mrs. Karin were present at Maastricht Airport (Netherlands) after a flight back from Blackpool. According to Kicker, Florian Wirtz's parents have been in England since the beginning of this week.

Wirtz is currently represented by his parents, who manage his contracts and negotiate with clubs. Bild revealed that the family is at odds over the German's next destination. Hans wants his son to play for Manchester City, while Karin prefers to stay in Germany and play for Bayern Munich.

Wirtz has long been considered the jewel of Bayer Leverkusen. With his creativity, technical ability and sharp tactical vision, he has become a target of many top European clubs.

Bayern, with its strong financial resources and understanding of the German football market, has the upper hand in the race to sign the 22-year-old midfielder. Bayern's advantage in this deal comes from the Wirtz family, as Karin wants her son to continue developing his career in Germany.

However, Manchester City's interest in the Bayer Leverkusen star has left things uncertain. Wirtz is seen as the perfect replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.

Although Wirtz is under contract with Leverkusen until 2027, the club's board believes that keeping the talented midfielder beyond the summer of 2025 is almost impossible, especially after coach Xabi Alonso left. Currently, Wirtz is valued at around 150 million euros by Leverkusen.
