“Etihad” officials believe that the business would be too expensive, according to the BBC. The transfer amount, which would have spun around 130 million euros, the player's taxes and salary would have made “citizens” to spend over 300 million euros. Wirtz would have become the most expensive transfer in City's history.
The German midfielder has a market share worth 140 million euros, according to transfermarkt.com. He had good figures this season, managing to tick 45 matches, 16 goals and 15 decisive passes in all competitions.

With 7 goals and 8 decisive passes, Morgan Gibbs-White was one of Noingham's basic people in the very good English season. Reijnders, with 15 goals and 5 decisive passes, is among the most appreciated midfielders in Europe.
