Are we just not planning to sign a striker at all then? Play Wirtz as some kind of false 9? I'm not sure I totally get this transfer tbh.
Seems to be the plan.
I can understand it with the level of strikers that are about at the minute
Mercato. He also announced that Xabi was taking over at Bayern last summer after rejecting us.
Two days ago he was also adamant that Man City were the team in the lead.
It’s also that their squad is mostly old and/or shite. Coupled with the dog shagger leaving in a season or two means it’s not the dead cert for trophies it once was.
Haaland to Manchester City: A 350 million euro signing
If we do the maths for Erling Haaland's imminent move to Manchester City, there is a 75 million euros fee with 10m euros in add-ons for Borussia Dortmund. Then, there's...amp.marca.com
load of shite, they’ve paid more before. city have been told he doesn’t want to go there, probably given the uncertainty around the 115
I'd flip us and Real, but 20% sounds about right. Him traveling to Liverpool with his family and representatives must surely mean he's at least considering it.
fine i can live with musiala
yea it’s not quite the prospect it was a few years ago.
Guaranteed he’s signing for us now. Tavolieri is almost always wrong
I am not happy with that

It is clear that Liverpool are making a pitch to Wirtz to join head coach Arne Slot’s title-winning squad and trying to persuade him to opt for a new challenge away from his homeland. Wirtz could also stay at Leverkusen for another season.
He has previously said that his career will be shaped by the chance to stock his trophy cabinet rather than boosting his bank balance, telling Sports Illustrated earlier this month: “The sporting perspective is much more important than money. My parents would be angry if I ever gave money priority.”
Adding to the intrigue are comments from Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness claiming that Wirtz “was at Liverpool” last week when he purported to be meeting City. Liverpool have said a meeting did not take place.
The withdrawal of City raises the prospect of a straight fight between Bayern and Liverpool should Wirtz decide against staying at Leverkusen for another season.
City pulled out of the race to sign Wirtz after claiming that the total financial package, including wages and transfer fees, would amount to around £250million.
They have taken similar stances before during the Pep Guardiola era, such as with Alexis Sánchez, Frenkie de Jong and Kalidou Koulibaly, because the club deemed their demands to be too steep. Deals for Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish were sanctioned.
It does mean, however, that City have failed to land Guardiola’s top transfer target this summer, having just spent around £180 million on four players — Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, Nico González — in the January transfer window. The Catalan viewed Wirtz as the successor to Kevin De Bruyne and made it clear at the start of the campaign that they were interested in him.
City will now turn to their other targets, including Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest and AC Milan’s Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who is available for around £55million this summer.
There is hope internally, too, that Phil Foden will bounce back from a tough season and start performing near his best again next year. Guardiola remains a big fan of the 24-year-old England international.
Surely this is code for I’m going to LiverPOOL?!

Where I’m at.
City paid over £100m fir Jack Grealish - a massive amount for a player that hasn’t really delivered.
However, Jack Greakish has EPL, 1 FA Cup, 1 CL, 1 Super Cup & 1 World Club Championship in his back pocket.
Grealish contributed to those wins.
So… I couldn’t give two fucks how much Wirtz costs or even if we spend years discussing whether he was value for money… as long as we win shit and he contributes to that.
If the wee baller is interested - fucking snap him up - us signing him will signify we’re not fucking around and being part of this team means we’re fucking going for it.
This is the way!!!!
