Guardiola Stays Silent on Wirtz Transfer Rumors Before Final

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not talking about reports linking Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz to his team. This comes as City prepares for an important final.

MORE TALK ABOUT WIRTZ TRANSFER

Florian Wirtz‘s possible move to Manchester City is becoming a hot topic. Reports say City might be close to signing the Bayer Leverkusen player after Wirtz met with Guardiola. But, Guardiola says his only focus is the final and the team he currently has.

“It’s not the time to talk about that… before the final, no comment. I have 24 exceptional players,” Guardiola said when asked about Wirtz. “I’m not going to talk one second about the future.”

THE BIG PICTURE

Manchester City are on top of the Premier League table with one match left. They have played very well this season, with great attack and solid defense. If City add Wirtz, their creative ability could become even better as they try to win domestic and European trophies.

Reports about Wirtz’s future are not consistent, though. Some sources say City’s meeting with Guardiola put them in the lead to sign him, but reports in Germany suggest Liverpool may be ahead in the race. This makes the Wirtz situation a fascinating part of the summer transfer window.

WHAT NEXT FOR CITY?

For now, Guardiola does not want to talk about future transfers. The City manager is fully focused on the final, knowing any distractions could be costly. Once the season is over, there will be plenty of time to discuss possible signings, such as Wirtz.

City will be favorites to win the final, as they sit three points ahead of their closest competitor in the league table. Guardiola wants to make sure his players stay focused and avoid unnecessary distractions during this vital period in the season.
