Over €100 Million Offer and Florentino Gives the OK, City Comes Full Force

Manchester City's plan to fight for the signing of a star against Real Madrid

It's no surprise that, for the next market, Real Madrid have several stars in their sights. Seeking to be relentless next season, the club has sought the best of the best. However, Manchester City, which is going through a serious crisis, has a quite similar plan.

This has led the English club to set their sights on Bayer Leverkusen's star, Florian Wirtz. The young German, after his excellent last season, managed to demonstrate his talent but, above all, his potential. Considered one of the great talents of European soccer, it's no wonder that Real Madrid are looking to secure his services.

Seeing Wirtz as the perfect player to consolidate their midfield, the Merengue team is determined to work on his signing. However, in the presence of City, Florentino Pérez has made the decision not to enter a bidding war for the German.

Manchester City's Interference

At just 21 years old, Florian Wirtz managed to establish himself as an excellent player last season. Becoming the leader of Bayer Leverkusen, the German has managed to exploit his potential thanks to Xabi Alonso. The 15 goals and 13 assists he has achieved are clear evidence that Wirtz continues to improve his outstanding level.

Although his contract with Leverkusen is until 2027, the club knows they won't be able to retain their star for much longer. With the offer of more than 100M in which City is working, Wirtz's future is outside the Bundesliga.

Although Real Madrid remain interested in his operation, Florentino Pérez's stance has been definitive. The president is clear that, despite Wirtz's great projection, he won't disburse a large sum that could end up affecting Real Madrid's state.

Wirtz's Decision

With this decision by Florentino Pérez, the future destination of Florian Wirtz depends entirely on him. Having a few months to think carefully, the German must decide between the best club in history or a team that can't get out of its crisis.
