Manchester City is reportedly willing to spend a staggering £120 million to secure the services of 21-year-old Bayern Munich star, Jamal Musiala. According to a report by Teamtalk, Pep Guardiola is keen on having Musiala in his squad for the upcoming season.
Musiala, who was previously part of the Chelsea youth ranks, joined Bayern Munich in 2019 and has quickly risen through the ranks. At just 21 years old, he is already a key player for the German giants. Manchester City sees him as a valuable addition to their squad as they aim to maintain their dominance in the Premier League.
Guardiola’s team has faced increased competition from clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal in recent seasons, and they are looking to widen the gap at the top. Musiala’s versatility in both midfield and attack, along with his goal-scoring ability, makes him an attractive prospect for Manchester City.
While Musiala’s contract with Bayern Munich runs until 2026, City is prepared to break their transfer record to secure his signature. The German international is expected to cost around £120 million, surpassing the £100 million they paid for Jack Grealish.
With Kevin De Bruyne’s age and injury concerns, and Bernardo Silva’s potential departure, City is in need of reinforcements. Musiala is seen as the ideal long-term partner for Phil Foden. However, Bayern Munich is unlikely to let him go without a substantial offer.
