Employee Information Manchester City have had to switch their focus to Nottingham Forest ace Morgan Gibbs-White as Florian Wirtz will not be arriving in England this summer Premier League sides are now aggressively attacking the market and want to secure their key signings as early as possible to beat competition to the punch. However, there will be disappointment surrounding one of the world’s most coveted players in Wirtz Premier League clubs are starting to back away from the Bayer Leverkusen star and leave the race to European giants Real Madrid and Bayern Munich Manchester City have been long-term admirers of Wirtz but have pivoted and are working hard to bring in Gibbs-White from Forest instead TEAMtalk can reveal the Englishman is very keen to make the move and Forest are aware of his intentions to leave this summer Forest hope to keep hold of Gibbs-White as he is one of their key players but the reality is that this is unlikely and he will move on to play under Pep Guardiola next season Talks are set to push on over the next week and City want him in place ready for this summer’s Club World Cup TEAMtalk understands that City were joined by Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester United in holding interest in Wirtz but there was no real movement from the Premier League’s elite as the Germany international wants to continue playing under the guidance of Xabi Alonso READ MORE 👉 Man City, Tottenham on high alert as Crystal Palace star makes HUGE summer transfer call This has put Real Madrid in a very strong position as Alonso is set to take over from Carlo Ancelotti next season and has already expressed his desire to bring the 22-year-old with him to Spain Sources state that Madrid have approved Wirtz’s potential signing with an official move expected in the summer Sources have also revealed that the playmaker knew of the possibility to play for Madrid – widely regarded as the world’s biggest side – last summer and that is why he held off on a move until the end of this season who are pushing extremely hard to land the talented playmaker by offering huge sums of money Bayern are also hoping his friendship with Jamal Musiala will pay dividends to bring him in this summer but most sources expect him to move to Madrid Leverkusen are also extremely reluctant to sell him to Bayern as they are a direct league rival and it would only strengthen them further After learning they will be unable to snare Wirtz, City have been linked with a £60m swoop for Gibbs-White

Lovette said during the trial pointing from one side of his neck to the other He said after his throat was slit Menard asked Fitch if he was killing him “‘You ain’t in hell yet mother [expletive]?’” which took place in Judge Randal Bethancourt’s Houma courtroom saw a multi-parish collection of law enforcement and others involved in associated crimes testify The investigation was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and Menard's skeletal remains were recovered Feb. 24, 2021 Fitch dismissed his attorneys and filed for a quick and speedy trial The Houma Courier asked Fitch why he dismissed his attorneys He said he was dissatisfied with the attorneys work Lovette testified that his involvement in the night’s events began when he and others were doing drugs together Lovette said he heard Christopher Martin and Fitch planning to beat Menard up over $1,300 Menard was winning the fight and Lovette grabbed him and Lovette said he saw Martin throw a knife to Fitch Lovette said Fitch commanded Menard to get undressed and make his way into the thick brush naked When Lovette realized the situation was taking a turn for the worst but was told to stay still unless he too wanted to die Martin also faces second-degree murder charges for his alleged involvement in Menard’s death He was not involved in the week’s proceedings but is scheduled for trial at a later time Lovette has agreed to a plea guilty for his part in the murder but said he has been given no promises by the District Attorney’s Office Lovette said Fitch dealt the final blow to Menard Fitch plunged the knife into his neck two more times Menard’s body shook before halting movement altogether No expert testified to the cause of death during the trial but during his closing arguments he said Menard died due to blunt force trauma to the head He said Lovette was the one who fought with Menard and that Lovette was now trying to place blame on him to avoid punishment “Why should I be responsible for this man’s death when he did it?,” Fitch asked He told jurors he didn’t have the skills or experience to put forward a case as good as the prosecution but reminded them that he cross examined the Director of LSU FACES Lab who said Menard’s remains had a fractured cranium which happened at or around the time of death “That’s one check that won’t bounce,” Fitch argued Both Fitch and prosecution asked Listi about the cause of death To both sides she said she cannot determine the cause of death Fitch attempted to object to statements made by witnesses and prosecution But often he was overruled due to lacking a proper legal basis for his objection He often was told that he would have a chance to cross examine witnesses to make his point Fitch continuously referred to videos he wanted jurors to view that he had been given and previously viewed at the jail Fitch said Bethancourt promised him a laptop to show video footage Bethancourt reminded Fitch that he made no request to bring anything from the jail
