According to Bild, Guardiola views Wirtz as his ‘dream player’ and is lining up the 21-year-old as Man City’s long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract will expire this summer.

The report added that Spaniard wanted Man City to sign Wirtz in the January transfer window, although Bayer Leverkusen had no intention of selling him before the end of the season.

Wirtz has already attracted interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Earlier this season, it was reported that the Gunners are ‘fully committed’ to signing the Germany international at the end of the season.

Wirtz played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen’s league and cup double last season.

He has continued his impressive form for Xabi Alonso’s side this season.

Wirtz has recorded 15 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions so far this season.

His current contract with Bayer Leverkusen will expire in 2027.
