Its obviously zero percent chance we would do a 100m investment on a player only to loan him out. I know we are desperate, but surely everyone understands this is not an option.I'd buy him and loan him back after Christmas if he's not getting enough game time with KDB back. He gets 3 months with the best manager in the world and then can fit back into Bayer.

I would rather sign him next summer when he is more open to move rather than risk buying him now and loaning him back and picking up a major injury.
Forget that, should try to sign him this summer - if logistically possible. Prices are only going to go up, not down similar to the Rice & Caicedo antics. He'll probably be valued at £200m next summer. Plus, most of the major clubs have now already splashed their cash so the competition for his signature would be less now in comparison to next year.
I feel like people are debating whether City are prepared to pay the price needed, even though there are many somewhat reliable sources saying that Wirtz himself has no intention to leave Bayer this summer... I feel like it's irrelevant whether City are prepared to pay or not...
Not a chance if doesn't want the move this season. Can't force him to sign. Similar to Erling Haaland. Keep in contact with his agent and then work on a deal next summer.Forget that, should try to sign him this summer - if logistically possible.

I think you're right. Even if Bayer are up for it, it requires the player's assent, which I doubt he has much reason to give. He can choose next summer. What do City offer? Break the wage structure, guarantee a dozen existing players ask for more? He's not even right for the role Pep is prioritising.I feel like people are debating whether City are prepared to pay the price needed, even though there are many somewhat reliable sources saying that Wirtz himself has no intention to leave Bayer this summer...

Maybe with KDB out long term Wirtz will be less concerned about not getting the playing time he needs to star for Germany at the Euros. Knocking on the door and offering a bag of cash and some minute guarantees might push him along.I think you're right.

Unlikely but Pep has pull unlike anyone else in the game. Don't rule it out.

I can tell you if I was in Wirtz I wouldn't be too worried about the German National team.
Germany isn't even good right now. Getting to an elite club would be my focus.

Have you seen the squad? If Wirtz is good enough. He will get minutes. That's a guaranteed.Pep isn't going to give "guarantees" to anyone.

Yeah I have. What's that got to do with anything.Have you seen the squad? If Wirtz is good enough. He will get minutes. That's a guaranteed.
He will get minutes yes. He's not an undisputed starter like he is at Bayer.
Well yeah that's a given.Yeah I have. What's that got to do with anything.

I believe this is true for Wirtz too. And his supposed comments is simply what you say when there is no concrete interest.I can tell you if I was in Wirtz I wouldn't be too worried about the German National team.

Once real interest materialize, everything changes. For me 100 million on the table guarantees movement.
And no International at City will lose their international spot. No matter how many minutes or lack thereof they get.
All in all, look forward to this final signing.
