Manchester City chiefs want to bring Jamal Musiala to the Etihad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Musiala has become one of Bayern Munich's most important players in recent years, despite the fact that the player is only 21 years old. The German, who grew up in England, possesses qualities that coach Guardiola adores on the pitch.
Musiala scored a very important goal, which gave Bayern Munich the Bundesliga title last season, in the last game. Exactly the mentality of the German talent, in matches where the pressure is great, make him even more perfect for the team led by Guardiola. The need for alternatives in midfield has also increased, as De Bruyne has struggled with injuries this season, while Mahrez and Gundogan left in the summer.
It is understood that Bayern Munich never wants to lose one of its best and most promising players for the future. But City leaders will prepare a financial offer too difficult to refuse. The English media have reported that the "citizens" are ready to offer about 120 million pounds for Musiala. That figure would break the current club record for the most expensive transfer, that of Jack Grealish in the summer of 2021.
Guardiola is willing to take this step, as he is convinced of the quality and what Musiala can offer his team on the pitch. Jamal is considered one of the best dribblers in Europe when it comes to tight spaces. This ability of the German makes him quite attractive in the eyes of Pep, since the control of the ball and therefore of the game is one of the most important points in Manchester City's game.
Meanwhile, it is not yet known whether Musiala prefers a move to the Premier League, or will continue his career in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.
