Manchester City are reportedly the front-runners in the race for Bayer Leverkusen's prized asset.
Manchester City are reportedly the favourites to land Florian Wirtz, as they are keen on bolstering their midfield options following the announcement of Kevin De Bruyne's exit.
The 22-year-old midfielder is already one of the best footballers in the world, having led Bayer Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga last season.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted the club decided against offering Kevin De Bruyne a new contract, effectively pushing him out of the club.

The details
According to reports, Manchester City are now favourites in the race for Wirtz, who is also being courted by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The attacking midfielder has a contract with Die Werkself until 2027 and is currently valued at €100m. Manchester City's financial might and a clear opening in their squad for a player like the German, unlike Real Madrid and Bayern, who have Jude Bellingham and Jamaal Musiala, respectively, are some of the reasons the Cityzens are viewed as favourites.
)
Another reason, according to GiveMeSport, is that Bayern Munich might now be a viable option in the equation, as Bayer Leverkusen’s recent transfer strategy is not to sell to direct rivals.
However, it is believed that the likelier outcome is for Wirtz to stay at Leverkusen beyond this summer and leave at the end of the 2025/26 season.
