The player’s performances have “caught the attention” of Manchester City, which has “renewed interest” in him.
Florian Wirtz, a midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, has ‘caught the eye’ of Manchester City thanks to his strong performances at the start of this season.
This information comes from Fichajes, who claims that Manchester City is one of the teams considering a possible transfer for the 20-year-old.
They clarify that following an eventful start to the season, in which Bayer Leverkusen is now leading the Bundesliga table, Wirtz has found his way back onto Barcelona’s agenda.
Additionally, they advanced in the DFB Pokal and won their initial Europa League match, marking a strong start that has drawn a lot of attention to them.
The midfielder Wirtz is one of those who has been putting in “notable” performances, entirely putting behind him the physical issues that plagued him last season.
In just seven games, he has already scored three goals and provided three assists, which are the type of stats that get the attention of large sides.
Barcelona has joined the list of teams keeping a close eye on his progress this season, joining Real Madrid and Manchester City in expressing “renewed interest.”
Given that Wirtz is bound by a contract through 2027 without a release provision, a deal looks improbable for them and his price tag may rise to at least €100 million.
That is now out of reach for the Catalans, but not for teams like Manchester City, which may put them somewhat ahead of their rivals at this early point.
