Speculation is growing around Manchester City potentially signing Jamal Musiala in the upcoming summer transfer window, causing concern for two City players. The 21-year-old Bayern Munich playmaker is considered one of the game’s most talented players and could be on the move as his current contract expires in 2026.

Despite Bayern’s efforts to secure Musiala with a new long-term contract, the player has reportedly turned down a lucrative offer, opening the door for Manchester City and other clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool to pursue him. City is said to be increasingly confident of securing his signature, which could have ramifications for the team’s current players.

One player who may be affected by Musiala’s potential arrival is Phil Foden, the local hero who has excelled this season, especially in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. While Foden has shown his potential in a central role, Musiala’s arrival could see him pushed out wide, limiting his midfield opportunities.

Another player who could face challenges with Musiala’s signing is Oscar Bobb, a young talent who has impressed Guardiola and earned a contract extension until 2029. Like Foden, Bobb may find his path to the midfield blocked if Musiala joins the team, forcing him to wait for his opportunity in the future.

While Musiala’s addition would be a significant boost for City, it could also create competition and limit playing time for existing players. The potential reshuffling of positions and competition for roles could have both positive and negative consequences for the team as they plan for the upcoming season.
