The new Leverkusen "Bayer" team coach Erik ten Hag is forced to navigate an uncomfortable situation.

The Bundesliga team is preparing to sell one of its leaders, Florian Wirtz, for whom a suitable successor needs to be found.

England's press reports that E. ten Hag would like to replace the German with an unexpected player – "Man City" representative Jack Grealish.

Recently, the 29-year-old Englishman has lost the favor of "City" coach Josep Guardiola and was not even invited to participate in the upcoming Club World Cup tournament in the USA.

The well-known footballer's value has diminished – "Man City" is asking around £60 million for J. Grealish.
