It has been reported that it would take a ‘crazy bid’ for Manchester City to wrap up the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
This comes from Fabrizio Romano, who told Caught Offside about City’s chances of signing the 20-year-old.
The Italian journalist believes that unless Manchester City are well and truly willing to break the bank to sign Florian Wirtz, a move is rather unlikely.
Fabrizio Romano: Manchester City must make ‘crazy bid’ to sign Florian Wirtz
Branded as ‘outstanding’ by Soccerment, the German international was once compared to Lionel Messi by Xabi Alonso.
With Kevin De Bruyne set to be sidelined for three to four months, the youngster could perhaps be brought in to shoulder City’s creative burden alongside Phil Foden this season.
But Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the prospect of Florian Wirtz becoming a Manchester City player seem unlikely currently.
Only a completely crazy bid could change Bayer Leverkusen’s stance, but no negotiations are taking place at this stage and sources expect him to stay. Leverkusen aren’t even quoting a price tag at this stage”, he explained.
Florian Wirtz would become a superstar under Pep Guardiola
If Florian Wirtz does end up joining Manchester City, there is no a better coach in the world to hone his talent than Pep Guardiola.
The highly-rated talent is quite similar to Phil Foden stylistically in terms of being a technically gifted left-footed attacking midfielder who is capable of producing goals and assists.
