Manchester City are keen to sign Jamal Musiala and are monitoring the Bayern Munich No.42’s situation, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Musiala is under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2026, with the Bundesliga side understandably keen to tie him down to a new deal.
However, the German international has had to balance his minutes with Thomas Muller this season, which has allegedly become a “problem”.
The 20-year-old has established himself as a pivotal figure for his club and country in the last two seasons. Musiala has turned out eight times this term, chipping in with one goal and two assists.
Such a situation has captured the attention of several high-profile clubs in Europe, including Real Madrid. In addition, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City are also keen.
It was The Secret Scout who first revealed that Manchester City want to sign the Germany international as a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.
Now, Romano has added further information.
Speaking on YouTube, the reliable Italian journalist said: “At the moment Jamal Musiala’s contract expires in 2026, and there is still no agreement with Bayern to extend the contract. Why? Because the discussion was with the old management of Bayern, then the management changed and it’s still changing.
“For Bayern, it is an absolute priority. They know that other clubs will be in the race, we’ve had reports of Liverpool, but trust me, it’s not just Liverpool, many important clubs around Europe are keeping eyes on Musiala. Clubs in Spain, in England, not just Liverpool… people at Manchester City and Chelsea have been keeping an eye on Musiala as he’s one of the best talents in the world.”
“In my personal opinion, he’s worth more than €100m; I’d compare him to Jude Bellingham – a generational talent. So of course Bayern absolutely plan to extend Musiala’s contract with an important proposal, and they will try also with Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies. It’s complicated, but still on.”
The report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.
