It’s becoming clear that RM are not a realistic option.
It’s City v Bayern.
Bayern: Wirtz’s father (also his agent) wants Bayern
City: Bayer Leverkusen want to sell to City (basically anyone other than Bayern) and also want McAtee.
The player himself is undecided.
What else do we have an idea of?
It seems City want Wirtz in 2025. Bayern want him in 2026 but would take him 2025 if they must.
Bayer have an unsigned contract in front of Wirtz as his current contract runs out in 2027.
The main reasons his father wants him to go to Bayern is he himself is a Bayern fan and he also believes it will help his son perform better at the World Cup if he is based in Germany.
Bayern can afford to go all out for Wirtz but it is unlikely they can match City’s offer.
Bayern (strangely) have said in the past they believe the chances of getting Wirtz are 10% though that was some time ago and things have probably moved on since.
I have no idea of course but I will day this…..if he goes to Bayern and there are Blues on here that come out with “he was always going to Bayern it was obvious all along” then I don’t believe it for a second and neither should you. Lose the “lickle City”mentality. We have a reasonable chance whether we win or lose.
