Man City 'identify Florian Wirtz alternative' should they miss out on German star to replace Kevin de Buryne after 'Bayern Munich pull ahead in race for his signature'

Florian Wirtz's future is shaping up to become the transfer sage of the summer, given the rate at which he's picking up elite suitors before the season even comes to an end.

The German playmaker emerged as one of the brightest attacking midfield talents in the game last season, helping steer Bayer Leverkusen to an invincible domestic campaign.

While he remained under Xabi Alonso's tutelage for another campaign, he is set to depart the Bundesliga side this summer, with a whole host of Champions League giants in hot pursuit.
