Haaland will continue to be the leader of Man City's attack next season. |
Man City are expected to spend no less than 100 million pounds to welcome Wirtz, the current top star of the Bundesliga. The fact that Real Madrid may withdraw from this deal because of the expensive transfer fee has opened up a great opportunity for the Etihad team.
It is easy to see that Wirtz will replace the attacking midfielder position left by Kevin De Bruyne. With the ability to play the ball and penetrate the penalty area effectively, the German player promises to be a factor worth waiting for in the future. As of the end of March, Squawka statistics show that Wirtz is the U21 player who has created the most scoring opportunities in the top 5 European leagues (46 times, equal to Lamine Yamal).
Man City fans are imagining the prospect of Wirtz holding the ball and launching through balls for Haaland or Omar Marmoush to accelerate from next season. The strength and technique of this duo has always been a fearsome "weapon" for Man City.

Man City see Wirtz as an important target. |
Haaland still has a solid position in Man City's attack. In the past 2 seasons, no Man City player has had a better scoring efficiency than Haaland. In the 2024/25 season, Haaland reached 30 goals in all competitions, an achievement unmatched by any teammate.
With Marmoush, he gradually adapted to Man City's style of play with 6 goals in the Premier League this season. The Egyptian striker gradually took over the starting position of Jack Grealish and Phil Foden on the left wing of Man City thanks to his impressive technical foundation and speed.
On the other wing, Savinho has the advantage over Jeremy Doku. Although he doesn't score as many goals as Haaland and Marmoush, Savinho is annoying when dribbling, crossing and entering the opponent's penalty area to coordinate. In the Premier League, the Brazilian star has 8 assists since the beginning of the season, a better record than De Bruyne.
In theory, the four faces mentioned above promise to create Man City's dream attack. But that is in case Wirtz adapts well to his new teammates and gets used to the fast-paced playing style of the Premier League. Pep Guardiola must have his own calculations about using Wirtz appropriately.
The German international will certainly face tremendous pressure from fans and the British public. The defenses in the Premier League are not as easy as those in the Bundesliga. Many stars have risen to prominence and then faded away when their opponents easily figured them out.
