From Real Madrid to Manchester City, Guardiola Asks for More Than 100 Million

Manchester City had a rather busy winter transfer window looking ahead to the rest of the season. Spending more than 200 million euros, the club strengthened to improve what is being its worst season in several years.However, this hasn't diminished interest in a summer market where Guardiola has another big target.

Looking to improve his midfield, the coach has shown interest in Florian Wirtz. The Bayer Leverkusen player is one of Real Madrid's targets for the next campaign. Surprised by his performance, Florentino Pérez has seen in the German a player who can contribute a lot to Real Madrid's future.

While he had planned to make an offer during the next summer, City's presence is a problem.Guardiola's request for more than 100 million euros shows the Spaniard's willingness to finalize this signing.

City's Interference

At just 21 years old, Florian Wirtz has proven to be one of the best talents of his generation. His excellent last season, where he led his club to win two titles, put him on the radar of several clubs.Now, with 15 goals and 12 assists this season, the German has shown that his level is only improving.

With a contract until 2027 with Leverkusen, his departure won't be an easy operation for Real Madrid.The German club, knowing the potential and value of its young player, isn't willing to let him go for less than 100 million euros.

Due to this value, the offer Guardiola is preparing with Manchester City has presented itself as a major inconvenience. Despite not having submitted anything to sign the player, his intentions are more than evident and dangerous for Real Madrid.

The Summer Signing

With a few months before the next market, Real Madrid won't sit idly by regarding Wirtz's signing. Prepared to fight against City, the club is devising a way to secure Wirtz's arrival and, with luck, Frimpong's as well.
