Manchester City are ready to bet big on Wirtz and Reynders

Manchester City have made a serious move ahead of the summer transfer window. According to the British newspaper Mirror, the City are looking to sign two high-profile players at once - Bayer Leverkusen's young star Florian Wirtz and AC Milan's central midfielder Tejano Reynders.

Formations worth 185 million euros

According to reports, Leverkusen are demanding 100 million pounds (119 million euros) for Florian Wirtz. Manchester City are not backing down from this price - on the contrary, they are actively continuing negotiations. Milan have announced a valuation of 56 million pounds (66 million euros) for Reynders. In total, Guardiola's men are ready to spend 185 million euros for the two players.

De Bruyne replacement sought

City manager Pep Guardiola has identified Florian Wirtz in particular as the ideal successor to one of the club's leading figures, Kevin De Bruyne. The 33-year-old Belgian's age and injury-proneness mean he needs a suitable replacement in the next 1-2 seasons. Wirtz is seen as one of the most suitable candidates for the position.

Real Madrid also watching

Real Madrid are also interested in both players. This could further intensify the competition around transfers and increase prices. Although City have the financial advantage, Real's historical influence and the appeal of La Liga could be the deciding factor for some players.

The transfers of Florian Wirtz and Tejani Reynders are expected to become one of the biggest and most interesting deals in the European summer market. If City can bring both of them in, the team's center will become even younger and more competitive. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
