Manchester City are reportedly leading the Jamal Musiala chase, as Bayern Munich are eager to tie down their star attacker to a new deal.
According to Football Insider, Manchester City are in pole position to sign Jamal Musiala next summer if the attacker decides to leave Bayern Munich. With under two years left on his current deal with the Bundesliga giants, the 21-year-old prospect will have a big decision on his hands amid growing interest in his signature.
The Jamal Musiala situation
Jamal Musiala is steadily becoming one of the most revered talents in Europe, and naturally, there is plenty of interest in his signature. Real Madrid have already shown their admiration for the 21-year-old prospect, while a host of Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing him.
Manchester City have considered a move in 2025, and given this level of interest, Bayern Munich are under some pressure to sort out his long-term future. At 21, Musiala has the world at his feet and a long career to look forward to, as a significant decision could be incoming next summer from the attacker.
Musiala has under two years left on his current deal, with a recent report suggesting he might have rejected an offer from Bayern. The pressure is on the Bavarians, as they will have to get a deal in place or risk losing their star player next summer when he will have a year left on his contract. Either way, they will demand a significant fee.
Their priority is to tie him down to a new deal and end speculation about his long-term future. Bayern are likely to ramp up talks, but there is the looming threat of Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool all stepping up their chase of the 21-year-old Bundesliga prospect.
Manchester City in pole position in Musiala chase
Some uncertainties are surrounding this Manchester City team following their impending fate over the 115 charges levied by the Premier League. The court case could also be the reason why Pep Guardiola has not renewed his deal at the Etihad yet, as severe punishment on the club could see the Catalan leave.
Manchester City are keen to sign Musiala to persuade Guardiola to renew, as they are one of the handful of clubs who will be able to afford the 21-year-old prospect. For now, they appear to be in pole position for the German attacker, as the lure of playing for Guardiola could have a significant impact compared to their rivals. However, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid will keep a close eye on things.
