’11 goals, 17 assists’ – Pep Guardiola eyeing German ‘Wizard’ to replace Kevin de Bruyne

Man City is looking to own midfielder Florian Wirtz to replace Kevin de Bruyne in the future.

The success of Man City, according to fans, is associated with two people, Pep Guardiola and Kevin de Bruyne. While the former Barca coach helps The Citizens create a style of play that destroys every tournament they participate in, the Belgian midfielder is the brightest star helping the club achieve those ambitions.

However, this association is showing clear signs of decline this season. Man City continuously encountered difficulties when De Bruyne was absent due to injury.

Specifically, the 32-year-old midfielder missed 19 matches in the 2023/24 Premier League. This makes Man City clearly understand that the club needs to soon find a star to replace De Bruyne in the future.

According to Manchester Evening News, Man City is currently eager to own Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen Club. The 20-year-old player, under the guidance of coach Xabi Alonso, has become a bright young talent in German football.
