Manchester City have finally moved for Florian Birz, who has been spotted as a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.
Christian Polk, a transfer market expert working for Sport Bild in Germany, said on his personal website on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) that Manchester City will not give up recruiting Birz this summer. Bayer Leverkusen star and Bundesliga winner Birtz is respected by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Bayern is known to be in an advantageous position in recruiting Birtz. Bayern have agreed a move for 22-year-old attacking midfielder Birtz. However, it seems that the transfer is not completely confirmed yet, and Manchester City has moved in earnest.
Reporter Polk said 'Man City are now trying to intercept Bayern's bid for Birz. Man City put an offer in Leverkusen. The Premier League giants hope Leverkusen can persuade Birtz to withdraw from Bayern. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola explained that he is a big fan of Birtz and wants Germany international Birtz to replace The Bruyne at the Etihad Stadium.
Birtz was in the UK on the 13th, according to Polk's information. It was to negotiate with Man City. Hans-Joachim Birz, who works as a father and agent, and his mother also flew to Manchester, England, and sat at the negotiating table with Manchester City. Manchester City's proposal to Leverkusen is believed to be close to 150 million euros (about 237.2 billion won) that Leverkusen wants.
Currently, Bayern has a personal agreement with Birtz, but the timing of the transfer did not insist on this summer's transfer market. This is because the transfer fee that Leverkusen wanted was too high. I tried to take the player after waiting until next summer.
However, as Manchester City began to persuade Leverkusen and Birtz with a bundle of money, Bayern could not afford to relax.
Birtz is a world class born in 2003. Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala are among the 2003 born '3's. He won the league MVP by leading Leverkusen to the Bundesliga championship. Bayern are looking to bring Birtz in and form a duo with Musiala, while Man City want Birtz as a replacement for The Bruyne.
Whether Bayern can satisfy Leverkusen or Manchester City can seduce Birz seems to be the key to the transfer theory. So far, there is no news that Real are moving for Birtz.
