Manchester City’s efforts to sign Jamal Musiala have gained momentum as they get ready for Kevin de Bruyne’s impending exit.
The Express article Musiala’s long-term future is now uncertain since he turned down Bayern Munich’s most recent contract offer. The 21-year-old, who has been with the Bundesliga’s biggest clubs since 2019, is about to reach the last year of his contract at the Allianz Arena.
According to the source, the offensive midfield player is seeking a contract around £300,000 per week, which his advisers feel is commensurate with his standing in the league right now. While everything is going on, City has been monitoring his development for a year and may have to try to pry Musiala from Blues veteran Vincent Kompany.
However, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Real Madrid are rivals of the Premier League winners. The latter are believed to be City’s primary competitors for his signing because they are the most successful team in the history of the sport.
While this is going on, it is believed that Bayern and the German international are still in negotiations to attempt to convince him to sign a new contract. Max Eberl, the sports director, has confirmed that conversations will take place.
“The truth is that for months, we have been sharing ideas. Over the weekend, he stated, “We will chat when we sit down. We will do this in our own time. “Jamal is aware of his strengths at Bayern, but we also understand Jamal’s strengths. He ought to establish himself as a Bayern mainstay.
“We aim to take home national crowns and win the Champions League.” Our goals will enable Jamal to obtain his own rewards.”
At his current valuation of £120 million, Musiala would be a record signing for Britain. On the other side, earlier in the summer, De Bruyne was strongly associated with a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Should he reject fresh terms, City will have the January transfer window to attempt and recover some money for his sale. His contract is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2019.
