By far the biggest spenders in the January transfer window, Pep Guardiola is set to splash out another €200m this summer on a highly-rated duo for Man City.
Despite still having the outcome of 115 charges against them to be known, that isn’t stopping the reigning Premier League champions from exerting their financial authority over their contemporaries.
With the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules in mind, Guardiola and his employers can ill afford to fall foul of Financial Fair Play at this stage.
In any event, sources have indicated to CaughtOffside that City have positioned themselves to have the best chance of signing Bayer Leverkusen duo, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, for close to €170/200m in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG are all also looking to revitalise their squads before the start of the 25/26 campaign, so it isn’t a foregone conclusion that City will get things all their own way.
Wirtz, at 21 years of age, has been one of Leverkusen’s key players in recent seasons. His technical skills and game intelligence mark him out as an ideal candidate to strengthen the midfield line of any of the interested clubs.
