With a contract at Leverkusen until 2027, the Bundesliga side are under no pressure to sell Wirtz and therefore, the hefty price tag is merited.
The signing of the German international would be incredible business for either of the aforementioned clubs as the 20-year-old’s potential is massive.
Man City may view Wirtz as the long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne as the Belgian star is reaching the twilight stages of his career. However, the Premier League champions are in the race with the biggest clubs in the World, so signing the Leverkusen star will be a challenge.
