Manchester City are interested in signing Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich this summer, despite Chelsea also being keen on the young attacker. With 19 goal contributions in all competitions, Musiala is considered one of the best young attackers in European football. His versatility in playing as a central attacking midfielder, winger, or centre forward could make him a valuable addition to Manchester City’s attack, especially after their struggles in breaking down Real Madrid’s defense in the Champions League.

Joining Manchester City could be an attractive prospect for Musiala, as he would have the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola and potentially improve further in his career. On the other hand, Chelsea are also in need of attacking reinforcements and could benefit from Musiala’s abilities. However, Chelsea’s current rebuilding phase and lack of recent success in major trophies may make it challenging for them to convince Musiala to choose them over Manchester City.

Both English clubs will likely have to pay a premium for Musiala, as he is highly rated in the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich would not want to let him leave easily. It remains to be seen where Musiala will ultimately choose to move, but Manchester City’s status as one of the biggest clubs in the world and their potential for winning major trophies could make them a more attractive destination for the young attacker.
