BBC: Manchester City is withdrawing from the competition for Wilz, they think it will cost too much to sign him 300 million euros

05, May 19th According to BBC exclusive news, Manchester City is withdrawing from the competition for Wilz, and they believe that signing him will cost too much to 300 million euros.

Leverkusen midfielder Wiltz is one of the hottest midfielders in football today, and many people have thought he would naturally become the successor of De Bruyne in Manchester City's team.

But BBC Sports learned that Guardiola's side is withdrawing initial interest in the German international due to the huge cost of the deal. It is estimated that the agreement to sign the 22-year-old may include transfer fees and salary up to 300 million euros, which will set a record for Manchester City's all-time trading record.

Although Manchester City recognizes Wilz as one of the most outstanding young talents in European football (and Bayern Munich and Liverpool are interested in it too), the club believes that the deal has a serious premium risk. Past cases show that when Manchester City determines that a transaction does not have cost-effectiveness, they will decisively choose to withdraw from the bidding.

Manchester City's decision to withdraw from the Wiltz battle should also be regarded as a commitment to Foden's central position in the Guardiola system.

Fourden has long been regarded as the natural successor of the soon-to-be-de-Bruyne, the core of the organization, and if Wilz is introduced, the England international's position in Guardiola's plan may be shaken.

But as of now, Werz is not expected to join. Manchester City will still look for a new creative midfielder in the transfer market, with Nottingham Forest's Gibbs White being one of the potential candidates.
