Manchester City is reportedly ready to sign their top goal of the summer transfer.
Despite the reaching of the FA Cup final and only three points behind the second Arsenal placed in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola have considerably shortened their own high standards this season.
In a nine game run in the Christmas period, the club saw only one competition gain, which marked the worst enchantment of Guardiola's term of office in the club so far.
After years of inactivity in the January window, City was decisive in looking to strengthen their ranks this year, so Aboukir Khusanov, Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez and Vorror Reis were brought in for significant reimbursements.
With Kevin De Bruyne, who left the club this summer, Guardiola has once again prepared the market to strengthen his side and reportedly reserved Bayer Leverkusen -star Florian Wirtz as his top goal this summer.
Wirtz was again the key to the side of Xabi Alonso this season and the 22-year-old has attracted interest from various European top clubs.
According to the German journalist Christian Falk, however, Wirtz has abandoned a switch to the Premier League for becoming a member of recently crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
The report states that Wirtz has agreed a switch to the Bavarian giants, with Bayern willing to offer € 100 million (£ 84.7 million) to take him to the Allianz Arena.
If Leverkusen chooses not to sell their price power this summer, Bayern is said to wait until the summer of 2026 to take a step for the German international.
Despite earlier reports stating that Wirtz still has three years on his current deal at Leverkusen, Falk added that the midfielder's contract will expire in 2027.
With the city that Wirtz will miss as a creative successor to De Bruyne, Nottingham Forest Talisman Morgan Gibbs-White has been recommended as a potential target for the club.
The Two-Cap England International is an integral part of the success of Forest this season, has delivered five Premier League objectives and registered seven assists for the Europe-Chasing side of Nuno Espirito Santo.
