Wirtz is also a target for Bayern Munich and is said to have reduced his choice of destinations between the two giants.

It's been suggested Hans favours a move to Bayern, while Karin believes he should stay in Leverkusen for another year.

At City, they see Wirtz as a natural successor for departing legend Kevin de Bruyne.

Wirtz has 16 goals and 15 assists in 44 matches for Leverkusen this season.
