“We have to bring in new players. Definitely!” This was Pep Guardiola’s clear message after the 1-1 draw against Everton. Even though there was finally a win against Leicester on Sunday (yikes!), the need is the same. Several players have been linked to City, now the major newspaper The Times reports that not just one, but two of the Bundesliga’s biggest stars are on the wish list.
It’s nothing new that Florian Wirtz or Jamal Musiala are linked to the reigning Premier League champions, but now, after the tragic last few months with the weakest results in the Premier League of any club, the need to do something NOW is revealed.
City raked in £68 million in sales profit Julian Alvarez, but did not think it was necessary to replace the Argentine. This has turned out to be a big mistake. According to the Times, City have identified both Wirtz and Musiala as the perfect attacking reinforcements.
“All” players are for sale, as long as the right offer and the right salary offers are presented. In the case of Wirtz and Musiala, City will not escape bids of at least €100 million – for each.
If the City management manages to manoeuvre to finance the signing of the German international duo – and persuade the youngsters to move to Manchester – then this will be this year’s big achievement in the transfer market.
