Manchester City tries to intercept Bundesliga star, Guardiola regards him as a replacement for De Bruyne

It is reported that according to Bundesliga expert Christian Falke, Manchester City tried to intercept Bayern Munich to sign Florian Werz this summer. The German midfielder's performance for Leverkusen in recent seasons has made him a hot spot this year.

Wilz played a key role in the team's Bundesliga journey last season, and he continued his good form this season. The 22-year-old has scored 16 goals and 15 assists in 44 games in various events.

His outstanding performance has won the favor of Allianz Stadium (Bayern home court). Bayern Munich has always had a tradition of exploring top geniuses in the country, and now they are turning their attention to Wilz.

However, Manchester City is clearly planning to undermine Bayern's plan. After a bad season, the English giant hopes to add creativity to the team.

Pep Guardiola is looking for a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, and the Belgian (De Bruyne) will leave the Etihad Stadium after its contract expires this summer. Now it seems that Wiltz is regarded as an ideal candidate.

The German midfielder's contract at Bayer Arena (Home of Leverkusen) expires in 2027, but he is expected to take a new step in his career this summer. Previously, people thought that Werz would join Bayern Munich, but Falk now reports that the player is no longer focused on going to Bayern.

Manchester City is eager to take advantage of the situation and has submitted an offer to Leverkusen for the German midfielder. In addition, according to Rome Sports, Manchester City plans to bring Tiani Reindez to the Etihad Stadium this summer. The Dutchman has been eye-catching in AC Milan this season, scoring 15 goals and contributing 5 assists in 51 games in various competitions.

Although Reindez's contract with the Ross and Blacks (AC Milan) expires in 2030, he may transfer with a high transfer fee this summer. The deal could cost more than €70 million, but for Manchester City, funding issues are unlikely to be a barrier. The report also stated that the 26-year-old was open to the transfer to the Etihad Stadium if the right offer was received. Manchester City missed both the Premier League and the Champions League this season, even though they reached the FA Cup final for the third consecutive year. Therefore, Guardiola may push the signing of Reindez to help the team return to its peak form.
