Mannwan: If Wirz joins Liverpool, it will make people think that Manchester City gave up because of the price

May 24th The Manchester Evening News wrote an article about Manchester City and Wilz.

It is reported that Liverpool is currently expected to sign Wilz, and Manchester City fans reacted strongly to this. According to reports on Friday, Liverpool became a popular team to sign Wiltz, a news that sparked an uproar on Manchester City's social media. If Werz joins Bayern Munich, Manchester City may still be acceptable, but if he joins Liverpool, it will make Manchester City fans feel even more painful.

Wilz's joining Bayern means he will stay away from the Premier League and stay in the Bundesliga. However, if he joins Liverpool, it will pose a greater threat to Manchester City. If Liverpool can successfully sign Wiltz, it will show their determination to win the Premier League and question Manchester City's decision to abandon the deal due to price issues.

Liverpool has been outperforming most teams in the transfer market. In January 2018, Liverpool signed Van Dijk from Southampton for £75m in an attempt to close the gap with Manchester City. Although Van Dijk received a Manchester City jersey at Christmas, City didn't think he deserves such a high transfer fee, while Liverpool thinks he's worth the money. Liverpool proved right, Van Dijk won all the honors at Anfield and became one of the best centre-backs in the world.

However, Manchester City then signed Laporte for £57 million. Laport not only won many honors for Manchester City, but also better than his opponents. In the 2018-19 season, Laporte was considered the best defender in the league, helping Manchester City beat Liverpool where Van Dijk was a one-point advantage, winning a high-level championship battle. In the 2021-22 season, Laporte tried his best to help the team overcome difficulties. When Laporte appeared on screen to pay tribute to De Bruyne on Tuesday, fans at the Etihad Stadium cheered and showed their love for him.

Although Manchester City may regret missing out on Van Dijk, Laporte is undoubtedly a good alternative. Now, Manchester City is under pressure to replace De Bruyne, especially with Wiltz's possible joining Liverpool. Wiltz has the opportunity to show his strength every week, proving that Manchester City failed to convince him to join was a mistake. However, this expectation may also bring pressure, and several high-priced players have not performed well in the Premier League recently.

Next season, Liverpool will face pressure to defend their title, which is very different from what this season has been like. Manchester City can’t make mistakes in signings, but it’s too early to feel regret before the transfer window is over.
