Poaching the old boss, Guardiola launches plan B
6:43pm, 20 May 2025【Football】
Recently, according to Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri's column in the Swiss Sky Sports, Manchester City's goal of signing this summer is very clear, which is to fully promote the transfer of German midfielder genius Wiltz. If this signing plan fails, Guardiola has also thought of Plan B, which is to poach the midfielder Olmo, the old club Barcelona, as a replacement for Wilz.
Manchester City management knows that once De Bruyne leaves the team, the Blue Moon urgently needs a new midfield commander who can control the rhythm of the game and dominate the frontcourt attack line to replace him. Wilz's performance in the Bundesliga in Leverkusen in recent seasons is obvious to all. Although he is only 22 years old, he has shown extraordinary talent and super creativity. He can not only create excellent opportunities for his teammates, but also have the ability to make a final decision at critical moments. More importantly, Guardiola still has a special liking for Wiltz. Therefore, Manchester City is pursuing Wilz fiercely, hoping to get this talented German Emperor star immediately.
However, the transfer market has always been turbulent and full of variables. Considering that Wilz is already a hot spot in the European transfer market, Manchester City may not be able to sign him as he wishes. So, just in case, Guardiola has also prepared a backup plan, that is, if they really miss the chance to sign Wiltz, they may turn to Barcelona midfielder Olmo.
This season, Olmo followed Barcelona to win the domestic triple championship, and his personal performance was also very impressive. Data shows that he played 38 times for Barcelona. Although he only got the starter 22 times, he has contributed 11 goals and 7 assists to Barcelona. Whether it is shooting in front of the goal or organizing tandem ability, he is world-class. Barcelona is currently in financial difficulties, which has given Manchester City a chance to introduce Ormo.
Obviously, it is much easier to sign Olmo from Barcelona than to introduce Wilz from Leverkusen. It is reported that if the two parties reach an agreement, Olmo's transfer fee is expected to be close to 60 million euros. Although this price is not cheap, it is obviously much less than Wiltz's £100 million offer.
For Manchester City, the first choice is naturally the younger German emperor star Wilz. If Wilz can't buy it, Guardiola will settle for the second most midfield star Olmo, who poached his old club Barcelona. De Bruyne's shadow can be seen in both of these people, so they can both become the substitutes of De Bruyne. Who will Manchester City sign in the end this summer? Let's wait and see.
