Manchester City appear to have a shot at signing the biggest prize in the summer transfer window | OneFootball

The biggest name who could be available in the summer transfer window is Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz. If the German international decides to seek a new challenge at the end of this season every big club in Europe will be bidding to sign Wirtz. Manchester City will be at the front of that queue based on their need to find more creativity in midfield.

Now a new report suggests that Manchester City may have been handed a substantial boost in their bid to sign the ideal player to replace Kevin De Bruyne. That could set the scene for a massive summer transfer window for the world champions. If they can convince Wirtz that his future lies at the Etihad it could set Manchester City up for years to come. Florian Wirtz is only 21 years of age and is arguably the best young attacking midfielder in Europe. He is also a player that City need to address a glaring issue in their squad. The lack of creativity in Manchester City’s midfield has stood out of late. If City could add Florian Wirtz to their squad it would address this in a big way. Now it appears that there is a real possibility that Manchester City could land the biggest fish in the summer transfer window.

Manchester City have received positive news from Florian Wirtz’s camp in regards to a summer transfer.

Giuseppe Labellarte has relayed a report from Graeme Bailey for TBR Football that Manchester City have been handed a big boost in the race to sign Florian Wirtz. Labellarte reports that Manchester City have received encouragement from Wirtz’s representatives regarding a potential summer move. Furthermore, Labellarte reports that Manchester City and Bayern Munich are now of the opinion that Wirtz is attainable in the summer. Labellarte adds that both City and Bayern have been in constant talks with the camp of Wirtz. Now those talks have stepped up in recent weeks as per the information provided by Graeme Bailey. Lastly, the TBR Football report indicates that Bayer Leverkusen are eager to sign Florian Wirtz on a new contract. So far they haven’t been successful in that pursuit. If they fail to do so then Wirtz may be in the move this summer.

Manchester City appear to be in the race to sign Florian Wirtz. The threat of Bayern Munich in the battle to sign the German international does loom large. But the City hierarchy does appear to now have an opportunity to pitch their sale to the camp of the Bayer Leverkusen star. If they can convince Florian Wirtz that his future lies at the Etihad they will land the biggest prize available in the summer transfer window. But if Wirtz signs a contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen that possibility is over.

Summary.

What Wirtz decides to do regarding his future is now a major story to monitor. It will shape whether or not Manchester City have a shot at signing the biggest prize on the market this summer. From a City point of view, the hope is that they do. Cause if they can sign Florian Wirtz, it will address the biggest need for City to address this summer. Opportunities like that are rare. So if it does arise Manchester City must pounce. It’s as simple as that.
