Manchester City left the transfer race for Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz.
And instead, concentrate on the landing of Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest.

The German sensation could have been a natural successor to Kevin de Bruyne. However, the city drew its interest as a cost of the potential deal with the heights of eye watering.
It was estimated that the deal would have been the largest in the history of the city, which would have made a total of £ 252 million available to them, including transfer fees and wages.
While Pep Guardiola’s team has withdrawn from the race for the 22-year-old, Liverpool and Bayern Munich remain interested.
Wirtz is a leading young talent in European football and was a key figure in Leverkusen’s unbeaten domestic doubles last season.
However, the city sees that the total costs for the potential business are too expensive for the German international.
Wirtz became the youngest scorer in Bundesliga history in a 4-2 defeat against Bayern Munich at the age of only 17 years and 34 days.
The 22-year-old already has 29 upper limits for Germany and six goals.
Man City is not a stranger to go from shops that they think is too expensive.
They cooled their interest in English captain and Tottenham striker Harry Kane due to the size of the transmission fee in the summer of 2021.
They wait a year before signing Haaland for 51.2 million GBP in 2022.

While City has drawn himself from the conversation for Wirtz, Talksport understands that you are the leader for a deal for the midfielder of Nottingham Forest Morgan Gibbs-White.
In April Talksport reported that Nottingham Forest Gibbs-White achieved a price of 100 million GBP.
This summer, City wants to fill the gaping hole in her midfield, which was created by the departure of the experienced midfielder de Bruyne.
The Belgian won six titles in the Premier League and the Champions League in ten trophy years in the club.
Gibbs-White came back to Forest after her action in 2022 to the Premier League, in an £ 25 million plus add-on change from Wolves.

The 25-year-old has 153 appearances, 18 goals and 27 templates in the Premier League.
The midfielder has two English upper limits after making his debut against the Republic of Ireland when Lee Carsley called him for the UEFA Nations Leagues league last September.
