Manchester City’s recent form has not been pleasing. Their struggles have mainly been caused by the aging squad, with almost half of the players now over 30. Nathan Aké is the latest to turn 30. This dip in form has prompted City to consider a massive squad rebuild.

City is aware that strengthening the midfield is paramount, especially with De Bruyne’s time at the club nearing its end. They have now set their sights on Bundesliga star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The German midfielder is valued at over £85 million by Leverkusen.

Manchester City is not the only club linked with the player. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also in the race for his signature. However, the EPL champions are currently the frontrunners to land him.
