Manchester City is reportedly interested in acquiring midfielder Jamal Musiala, with European football expert Kevin Hatchard weighing in on the possibility of him leaving Bayern Munich this summer. The Spaniard, who has been impressive since joining Bayern in 2020, is thought to have caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, who sees him as a future star in the position. However, there has been speculation about Musiala’s potential departure, as he has not shown an inclination to extend his contract, which runs until 2026.

Kevin Hatchard, speaking on talkSPORT, expressed his belief that it is highly unlikely for Musiala to leave Bayern Munich this summer. Despite interest from Manchester City, Hatchard suggests that Bayern would fight to keep the 21-year-old, considering his impact on the team since his arrival.

Musiala, valued at over £80 million, has established himself as a top young player in football, making significant contributions to Bayern with 155 appearances, 41 goals, and 21 assists. City sees him as a potential long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, but the likelihood of him moving this summer appears slim.

While there has been praise for Musiala’s technical ability and potential to succeed at City, reports indicate that a transfer to the Etihad is unlikely at present, especially with City’s rumored interest in Lucas Paqueta. Despite the excitement surrounding Musiala’s talent and potential, it seems that his future remains with Bayern Munich for the time being.
