Manchester City is preparing for a midfield renovation and has set its sights on Florian Wirtz as the heir to Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder, who has been the team's main creative force in recent years, will leave the club in the summer for the Saudi Pro League. His underperformance this season has accelerated the search for a replacement, and Pep Guardiola sees the young star from Bayer Leverkusen as the ideal candidate to take on that role.

City is going through a challenging period, reflected in the recent defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Their position in the Premier League is also uncertain, leading the management to reconsider their plans for the next season. Guardiola, aware of the need to revitalize the team, has pointed to Wirtz as a key piece in that process.

Manchester City Goes for the Signing of Florian Wirtz

The 21-year-old German midfielder is one of Europe's football gems and is under contract until 2028. His talent has attracted interest from clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, which could complicate the deal. Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen is reluctant to let go of their star and is working on securing him with a new contract.

City knows that the competition for Wirtz will be fierce, but their need to find a reliable replacement for De Bruyne could prompt the club to make a substantial offer in the summer transfer market. Guardiola's priority is clear, and the next move will depend on City's ability to convince both the player and his club.
