Manchester City have the edge over the Reds for the best attacking midfielder in the world

Florian Wirtz is considered the best number 10 in the world, and there is an arms race going on to secure his signature in the summer transfer window.

Real Madrid and Liverpool are amongst the clubs chasing him, and Bayern Munich are prepared to go into debt to sign the German in the coming months.

The Reds are very much in the race to sign Wirtz, but according to TBR Football, Manchester City have the edge in the race to sign him this summer.

Pep Guardiola’s side want him to replace Kevin De Bruyne, and have had positive discussions with the player and his representatives about a transfer.

Manchester City have promised him that he will be the heartbeat of the team going forward, and believe they have impressed Wirtz’s camp.

Bayer Leverkusen are expected to demand somewhere around €150m before agreeing to sell him in the upcoming transfer window.
