Manchester City would be convinced that Florian Wirtz, star of Bayer Leverkusen and Germany, could replace Kevin de Bruyne.
The 21 -year -old midfielder has shone in Leverkusen since his arrival in adolescence and played an essential role in the conquest of the Bundesliga title of the club during a historic season without defeat last season. A transfer to Real Madrid had been expected, but City now believes that the German can offer the same dynamism in the midfield as its legendary outgoing playmaker, according to the Daily Mail. Since the start of last season, Wirtz has scored 41 goals in 57 games and has become one of the most promising players in world football.
It is not surprising that Wirtz found contenders and was identified as an ideal replacement for De Bruyne. The Belgian was also a star in Germany, propelling Wolfsburg in the German Cup and finishing second in Bundesliga, before joining Manchester. Since then, he has played 413 games for City, scoring 106 goals, delivering 174 assists and winning all possible trophies.
Florian Wirtz targeted by Manchester City
Asked about the possibility of replacing Bruyne, Guardiola gave a familiar response: “ There are things that cannot be replaced. To say goodbye to this type of player is so difficult. I would like Vincent (Kompany) to be there forever, Sergio (Agüero) too, and now Kevin. »»
“To say goodbye to these links, to these relationships, for the manager, the teammates, the supporters, is not easy. In England as in each country, there are unique players, who represent what the club wants to be, and Kevin is one of them. ”
“It's a bit of a shock for supporters, but they remember the luck and happiness they have had for many years of having a player who has given everything. Kevin will always remain present in my memory and he will never be forgotten. »»
