Does Pep come before Bayern? Florian Wirtz traveled to Manchester on Tuesday at short notice. A large club apparently switches into the transfer poker.
An unusual visit ensures new speculation around Florian Wirtz: On Tuesday evening, the Leverkusen international ended up with his parents at Maastricht-Aachen Airport-after a secret short trip to star coach Pep Guardiola. This is what “kicker and” Bild “newspaper agreed.
Accordingly, the family started at 10 a.m. with a Jet Type Embraer Legacy 550 towards the UK. The first goal was the bathing resort of Blackpool. From there it went on to Manchester, which is around 70 minutes away. About nine hours later, the family came back with the same jet.
The trip is probably kept discreetly, which is why the Removing Airport Maastricht-Aachen was chosen as the return airport. The family’s car was also parked there, as the “picture” writes.
The meeting with the coach of Manchester City could mean that Wirtz is on the way to the Premier League. The midfielder is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027. FC Bayern has so far been a favorite for an obligation – either this summer or 2026. In Munich, one continues to be confident of getting the desired player for around 100 million euros, the report said.
But from England there is now movement: Manchester City has presented a specific offer according to the “Sport Bild” – Wirtz ‘Club Bayer Leverkusen (you can read more about this here). This comes close to the prices of the Rhinelander. The club calls for around 150 million euros and prefer a change abroad.
City is looking for a successor to Kevin de Bruyne who will leave the club. Pep Guardiola seems to see the ideal candidate in Florian Wirtz.
The trip will not be unnoticed in Munich either. It is likely to heat the debate about a possible change of the Leverkusener.
