Manchester City withdrew from the Wiltz battle, the main reason for inflated prices

According to multiple media reports, Manchester City has officially withdrawn from the battle against Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wilz, a potential record-breaking deal that was forced to end due to financial problems. The 21-year-old German international has delivered stunning data of 16 goals and 15 assists in 46 games this season, which has previously attracted close attention from many European giants including Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

The latest details disclosed by the British media show that the total cost of the transaction (including transfer fees and five-year contract salary) is expected to reach 300 million euros, which is beyond Manchester City's financial tolerance. This emergencies have made competitor Liverpool a major benefit, which is reportedly known as the latter has had substantial contact with the player's agent team and may take action in the transfer window this summer.

It is worth noting that Liverpool has just activated the £30 million termination clause of Leverkusen full-back Flynnon, and the signing is expected to be completed this week. Manchester City's withdrawal means new coach Slott and sports director Richard Hughes are expected to launch a strong offensive against Wilz in the first summer window (2024) - the club has reserved sufficient funds for this through prudent operations through the first two transfer windows.

Although we gave up chasing Wilz, Manchester City is still actively looking for an attacking midfielder in the transfer market. Gibbs White of Nottingham Forest has become a key target of Guardiola's investigation, according to people familiar with the matter. It should be pointed out that despite Manchester City investing 180 million pounds in the January transfer window, the Spanish coach still plans to continue to strengthen the lineup this summer.

After experiencing a FA Cup final defeat, Guardiola has made it clear that it needs to update and iterate the roster. As the 2025 Club World Cup approaches, the Manchester City coaching staff is considering dealing with intensive schedules through rotation mechanisms, which provides a strategic opportunity for the team's lineup restructuring.
