Manchester City officials attended the UEFA European Championship quarter-final clash between Germany and Spain as they begin preparations for their upcoming Premier League title defense. The club is reportedly interested in signing players who are participating in the tournament, including Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, and Florian Wirtz. Wirtz scored a stunning goal to force the match into extra time, but Germany was ultimately knocked out by Spain due to Mikel Merino’s late header.

Scouts from Manchester City and Barcelona were present in the quarter-final match to watch Kimmich, who is also being monitored by other top clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain. The 29-year-old midfielder has been a key player for Bayern Munich, featuring in over 500 career appearances and contributing to 12 goals in the previous season. With his contract expiring next season, Kimmich could potentially leave the German club this summer.

In addition to Kimmich, Manchester City has also been linked with RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo, who scored for Spain in the quarter-final clash against Germany. The club is looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season and is closely monitoring potential transfer targets who are impressing at the European Championship. Pep Guardiola’s side is keen on reinforcing their squad in order to maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League.
