Manchester City will have to sell their vision to sign one of the premier talents in European football. | OneFootball

It does appear that the top summer transfer target for Manchester City is Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz. The German international has impressed once again this season for Xabi Alonso’s side. That form has seen Wirtz touted as the ideal player to replace Kevin De Bruyne in Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Oli Gamp has reported for The Mirror that Wirtz is Manchester City’s primary target in the summer transfer window. A transfer battle is looming to sign the German international. For City to come out on top of that race they must sell their vision to Wirtz to win the race for his signature.

That is Manchester City’s mission if they do aim to win the race to sign one of the most sought-after players in Europe. The world champions must convince Wirtz that the Etihad is the right environment for him to further develop as a player. With Pep Guardiola as manager, there is that selling point for Manchester City to use. That is a strong lure for any player. There is also the selling point for City to use to say to Wirtz and his camp that he could potentially be the face of Manchester City alongside Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. That is another potential trump card City could utilise. There is also the fact that Wirtz could further develop his game at the Etihad and play in the role that best suits him as a player at Manchester City. All are strong selling points. Whether or not that is enough to convince Wirtz to move to City in the summer remains to be seen.

Summary.

Manchester City must pull out all of the stops to convince Florian Wirtz to sign with the club. That’s their only hope of landing the German international. They must start that soon now that Bayern Munich have made their intentions clear in regards to Wirtz. Sam Brookes has reported for the Daily Mail that Bayern have confirmed that they will move for the Bayer Leverkusen star in the summer. The race is now on to sign one of the premier young playmakers in European football. Manchester City must use all of their trump cards to come out on top in that race. You do feel that it’s their only hope of signing Florian Wirtz in the summer.
