Manchester City are looking ahead to the opening of the summer transfer window, with potential new arrivals including the name of German star Florian Wirtz among the mix.

Manchester City are looking to strengthen their squad for next season, with many names being linked to transfers with the Premier League club.

The Sky Blues are already dealing with many changes, such as the upcoming departure of Kevin De Bruyne, the highly likely exit for Kyle Walker as his loan deal comes to a close and uncertainty around the future of Jack Grealish as well.

Names like Morgan Gibbs-White and Eduardo Camavinga have been linked in reports, but ongoing rumours circulate regarding the future of Florian Wirtz.

The 22-year-old could be leaving his current club this summer, with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City all interested in attaining his signature ahead of next season.

In a recent report by Manchester Evening News, City's Ilkay Gundogan expressed his belief that Wirtz has the potential to be one of the best but will need a bigger club to do so. Possibly hinting at why his international teammate should join him as a Cityzen in the near future.

However, according to the Mirror, it's been suggested that Florian Wirtz himself doesn't want to join Manchester City and wants to join Bayern Munich.

While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, this latest news will be a significant blow for Man City, whose hopes of bringing in the rising star look very slim right now.

Of course, there is a lot of time before anything is decided, but this statement should urge the club to look elsewhere and not fully focus on securing Wirtz.

Elsewhere, there have been no further developments regarding other players staying or leaving, despite the window set to open up next month. Manchester City will be aiming to make crucial adjustments to their squad for next term, where they'll be hoping to challenge for the Premier League and many more trophies.
