Financial Concerns: The total cost (transfer fee + wages) could hit £252m, making Wirtz the most expensive signing in City’s history.
“Not Value for Money”: Despite his 16 goals & 14 assiststhis season, City believe the deal is overpriced.
– Alternative Targets They’re now eyeing cheaper options, like Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White.
What’s Next for Wirtz?
