One hundred and five charges against Manchester City will be dismissed, according to a football finance expert.”Pep

Guardiola ‘a big fan’ of potential Kevin De Bruyne successor; one of the best creators in Europe.” Florian Wirtz, a midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, has been identified as a ‘potential successor’ to Kevin De Bruyne.However, a club agreement stipulates that he could depart for a minimum of €130 million (although €150 million has been mentioned as a possibility).

 

“At both price points, there are ultimately few clubs that are able to pay that.” The only club that is genuinely interested, intently monitoring him, and willing to pay this sum is Manchester City.

 

“I believe that Bayern Munich’s asking price will eliminate them from the race.” “Manchester City has a significant opportunity to acquire the player if they act on the move.”It seems that Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of him. While he does not possess the same versatility as Kevin De Bruyne, he is still capable of performing at this position. “Perhaps a potential successor to De Bruyne, he plays the position in a manner consistent with Guardiola’s vision for the position.”

 

This season, Xabi Alonso’s squad has been an unexpected force in the Bundesliga, leading the standings after 17 games played.

 

What are the statistics that indicate?

It is highly probable that elite clubs other than Bayern Munich and Manchester City are examining the German international, given the exorbitant cost.

 

This season, the attacking midfielder (who also plays wide) has contributed to 20 goals in 24 appearances across all competitions.Already ranked among the most highly regarded creative avenues, the 20-year-old is in the 95th percentile for shot-creating actions on FBref.

 

He also demonstrates exceptional proficiency and assertiveness as a dribbler, with 95th percentile success rates in take-ons.

 

Furthermore, he offers more passes per 90 than Phil Foden, with an approximate 5% disparity in accuracy. This, coupled with his commendable possession consistency, explains why Guardiola perceives the youthful playmaker as an appealing candidate.
