Florian Wirtz
If it wasn’t for the long-term injury that has affected the German superstar, he would most likely be at one of Europe’s top clubs by now.
The media is talking about the interest of several giants. Among the names being bandied about are Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Manchester City. However, it is the latter pair who are said to be the most keen on the 20-year-old midfielder, who notched 4 assists on Thursday. He also managed to do it all in 55 minutes.
In Manchester City’s case, moreover, a transfer would make a lot of sense as Pep Guardiola will slowly have to look for a future replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who is being lured by Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.
