🔴 THE FULL STORY:
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is reportedly furious after highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz rejected an offer to join the reigning Premier League champions. Instead, the 21-year-old sensation has chosen to follow his heart and join Liverpool, the club he has supported since childhood.
