City are confident of landing a Bayern Munich star who could be the ideal addition

Manchester City are confident of securing Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala this summer it has been reported. The German international has rejected a new contract offer from Bayern. If Musiala is available this summer he could become the ideal signing for Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Harry Pratt reports for the Mirror that the Bayern Munich star has rejected the offer of a new contract from the Bundesliga giants. It is a move that has put a host of Premier League clubs on alert about a summer move for Musiala. Pratt adds that Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have an interest in signing the midfielder. Furthermore, Pratt reports that Manchester City are confident in winning the race to sign Musiala if he becomes available.

Jamal Musiala could potentially be the ideal addition to the Manchester City squad

As a player, Jamal Musiala appears to be the ideal addition to the City squad. While he primarily operates as an attacking midfielder he can play in multiple roles in attack. He can also play on the left or right wing which would make his versatility a weapon for Pep Guardiola. With Bernardo Silva’s future at the club reportedly in doubt Musiala may be the ideal replacement for City’s Portuguese star.

While Bernardo Silva and Jamal Musiala aren’t the same type of player they do share similar attributes. If City’s Portuguese star did depart this summer Musiala could come in and contribute instantly for the world champions. So far this season the Bayern Munich star has scored 9 goals and added 4 assists in 28 appearances for Bayern this season. Across all competitions, he has been a key player for the German giants.

There is also the tantalising prospect of Musiala joining forces with Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Josko Gvardiol and co to add to City’s young core. At 21 years of age, Musiala has his best football ahead of him and would be another quality addition to Manchester City’s squad.

Conclusion

The contract situation of Jamal Musiala has alerted a host of clubs across Europe to the prospect of signing the Bayern Munich star. With Manchester City being one of those clubs the German international could be the ideal player to add to the world champions squad this summer.
