Guardiola is doing his best: he offers 110 million euros to get the player from Real Madrid
The summer transfer rumors are intensifying, with Real Madrid and Manchester City competing for one of the most sought-after players. Pep Guardiola appears ready to pull out all the stops to sign the player, further fueling the rivalry between the two clubs, which extends beyond the field as both aim to bolster their squads with top talent.
The player in question is Florian Wirtz, the German midfielder who has caught the attention of leading clubs worldwide. Although Wirtz has decided to stay with Bayer Leverkusen for another season, he is expected to leave next summer, making him one of the hottest prospects in the transfer market.
Reports suggest that Wirtz is poised to be a major figure in next summer’s transfer window, but Real Madrid faces stiff competition from Manchester City, which is eager to secure his services. According to “TeamTALK,” Guardiola’s side is prepared to do whatever it takes to bring Wirtz to the Etihad, viewing him as the perfect successor to Kevin De Bruyne.
Bayer Leverkusen is expected to demand around €110 million for Wirtz, a figure that Manchester City is reportedly willing to meet. However, Real Madrid is hesitant to match that price, potentially paving the way for Wirtz to move to Manchester instead. The coming months are likely to see fierce competition between the two clubs.
Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation, well aware of Wirtz’s immense value, but club president Florentino Pérez has stated that he will not engage in a bidding war. Meanwhile, Guardiola, whose future at Manchester City remains unclear, is determined to make his mark by securing Wirtz’s signature, a key target for the club.
