Florian Wirtz (Bayer 04 Leverkusen), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Targeted for summer 2025

Kevin De Bruyne has announced his decision to leave Man City at the end of the season after a legendary 10-year stint. City have already lined up 21-year-old German playmaker Florian Wirtz as a potential £85m replacement.
With De Bruyne confirming his exit via social media, City have identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Wirtz — who has 9 goals and 10 assists this Bundesliga season — as their ideal replacement. Wirtz fits City’s recent youth-driven recruitment and could help fill the creative void. Competition is expected from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
