Later last week, Florian Wirtz agreed that his next club would be Bayern Munich. Christian Falk reveals the news in an exclusive report CF Bayern insider Last weekend. The news is indeed a blow to Manchester City to increase bids for increased creativity in the midfield.
Now, a new report from Sacha Tavolieri's Sky Sports makes the situation even more illuminated. According to a new report from Tavolieri, the battle to sign Wirtz may still be underway as Bayern Munich aims to price the moves of Bayer Leverkusen stars.
Bayern Munich seems to be planning to price Manchester City from the competition to sign Florian Wirtz.
Sacha Tavolieri reports Manchester City and Bayern Leverkusen have discussed Florian Wirtz’s discussions on the world champions for weeks. But Tavolieri added that Bayern Munich has now offered Wirtz the most attractive salary to make their signatures compete.
In addition, Tavolieri reported that Bayern Munich's offer to Wirtz exceeded what Manchester City usually set for new contracts. Tavolieri added that New York City has a belief that there is no higher player payment than Pep Guardiola. According to Tavolieri's report, Bayern Munich has provided Wirtz with such a huge salary to prevent City from signing Wirtz this summer. Sacha Tavolieri added that Bayer Leverkusen was then put pressure on Bayer Leverkusen through German media, which led to multiple reports that Wirtz chose Bayern Munich as his club.
Sacha Tavolieri further reported that Xabi Alonso was eager to bring Florian Wirtz to Real Madrid. However, the La Liga Giants are reluctant to pay Wirtz's salary. Tavolieri also reported that Bayern Munich had worked hard to sign Wirtz, but Manchester City had not yet competed.
The game to sign Florian Wirtz seems to be still in progress.
There are a lot to collapse in Sacha Tavolieri’s new report. It appears last week that Manchester City took a major blow to their summer transfer plan. But now it seems that Manchester City can still sign Wirtz.
Interestingly, Tavolieri reports that Bayer Leverkusen will sell Wirtz to foreign clubs for 100 million euros. They demanded 150 million euros to sell Wirtz to Bayern Munich. That could reach out to Manchester City's hand. However, Bayern Munich is determined to land on Wirtz at all costs. They look like they intend to offer him a salary plan that Manchester City cannot match. That might be their trump card in signing the German international campaign. The Bundesliga champions have also put pressure through the German media. Given how German football usually works, this is not surprising. Bayern believes that all Germany's best talents should be signed for them. Their recent actions illustrate this further. But Manchester City does have a good relationship with Bayer Leverkusen. Sacha Tavolieri's report shows this. So City has the opportunity to sign Wirtz. They need to convince him to make less money based on Tavolieri's information.
Maybe it will now boil down to what Florian Wirtz wants to do. I still hope he will be signed this summer or next Bayern Munich. But Manchester City didn't sign him. This fact does stand out in the new report that appears today by Sacha Tavolieri.
