Florian Birtz (Leverkusen) rejected Manchester City's offer.
British media Sports Bible reported on the 30th (Korean time) that "Birtz reportedly refused to join Manchester City when Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola did not keep his promise."
Born in 2003, Birtz became a core player of Leverkusen after debuting in the first team of Leverkusen in the 2019-2020 season. After overcoming injury, he became an ace player. During the 2023-2024 season, Birtz led his team to victory by scoring 11 goals and 11 assists in 32 matches of the German Bundesliga. Birtz played 49 games in all the 2023-2024 season. He had 18 goals and 20 assists. He also had 10 goals and 12 assists in 30 matches of the German Bundesliga this season. However, he briefly left the team due to injury. Birtz returned after rehabilitation. Birtz scored 57 goals in 195 matches for Leverkusen. He is also active in the German national soccer team.
Sportsbible said, "The future of Birz has become a hot topic over the past few weeks. He has been associated with Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Manchester City. However, Manchester City has withdrawn from the competition. Currently, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are competing for his recruitment. It was claimed that Liverpool had an upper hand in the recruitment of Birz, and the player is also known to be interested in transferring to Liverpool.
Fabrizio Romano, who is well-versed in the European transfer market, said recently, "Liverpool made an official bid to purchase Birz with a package worth more than 100 million euros. The two teams are in negotiations. Birz said he only wants Liverpool." 바카라사이트
