Kevin De Bruyne's replacement is ready: Pep Guardiola has chosen the 140 million player

According to information from BILD, Pep Guardiola has already set his sights on Florian Wirtz, the young midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City. The Belgian is set to leave at the end of the season, and Guardiola sees Wirtz as the perfect player to fill the significant gap in the midfield. De Bruyne’s departure, after years as a key figure in the team, opens up an important space, and Guardiola views Wirtz as the perfect fit to continue the City project.

Despite the interest from other European giants, Guardiola is determined to do whatever it takes to convince Wirtz to join City. The Spanish manager plans to have a face-to-face meeting with the talented German to explain his vision and the central role he would have in the team. The intention is to offer him a prominent place in the squad, which is exactly what Wirtz needs to further develop in one of the most competitive leagues in the world.

At just 20 years old, Wirtz has already established himself as one of Europe’s brightest young talents, standing out for his game vision, ability to break down defences, and maturity at a young age. His performances for Bayer Leverkusen and the German national team have attracted the attention of the continent’s top clubs, and Guardiola wants to take advantage of this opportunity to bring the midfielder into his squad, which is looking to maintain its dominance in the Premier League and European competitions.

Guardiola’s plan is clear: bring in a player who not only replaces De Bruyne but also adds freshness, dynamism, and creativity to City’s play. Although the competition will be fierce, the Catalan manager is confident that his personal approach and the appeal of City’s project will be decisive in persuading Wirtz to make the move to Manchester.

Although no official offer has been made yet, negotiations could begin in the coming weeks, especially with De Bruyne’s imminent departure. Meanwhile, Wirtz remains a key piece in Guardiola’s plans, with the manager willing to do whatever it takes to bring the young German talent into his project.
