Manchester City is already planning its future without Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder, who has been a key player in the Pep Guardiola era, could be experiencing his last months at the Etihad Stadium. His contract is ending soon, and all signs point to his destination being Major League Soccer, specifically with San Diego FC, who are willing to add him to their ambitious project.

They want to lower the 100 million that Bayer Leverkusen would ask

Faced with this scenario, the English club's management has set their sights on Florian Wirtz as their main target to fill the vacancy that the Belgian midfielder would leave. The young German talent, who shines at Bayer Leverkusen, has shown outstanding level under Xabi Alonso's guidance and has become one of the most sought-after gems in European football. According to reports from 'Daily Mail', his creativity, vision of the game, and ability to unbalance in the final meters make him an ideal candidate to fit into Guardiola's scheme.

To facilitate the operation and lower the 100 million euros that Leverkusen would be asking for, the 'citizens' could include James McAtee in the negotiation, who has had few opportunities in the English team. The 22-year-old midfielder could take the opposite path and join Bayer Leverkusen as part of the deal. Manchester City is determined not to lose competitiveness in the midfield and sees in Wirtz the perfect replacement to maintain its dominance in the Premier League and in Europe.
