Manchester City may have a secret weapon in their chase for a Bayern Munich star | OneFootball

Next summer is looming as a big one for Manchester City. It is shaping up to be the summer when the world champions begin the rebuild of Pep Guardiola’s squad. That will be a big job for City’s incoming director of football Hugo Viana. One player who could potentially form part of City’s rebuild is Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala. The German international looks to be a player who could potentially fill Kevin De Bruyne‘s shoes in time. A new report indicates that Manchester City may have a secret weapon in their reported chase for the German international.

Christian Falk has reported in his exclusive Daily Briefing column that Jamal Musiala has an eye on moving to Manchester City to be managed by Pep Guardiola. Falk further reports that Pep Guardiola’s contract extension could also help them in their chase for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz. Lastly, Falk adds that Pep Guardiola’s contract extension is looming as a danger to Bayern Munich’s attempts to retain the services of Musiala and sign Florian Wirtz.

Pep Guardiola’s contract extension could help aid Manchester City’s upcoming rebuild as Christian Falk points out.

Pep Guardiola’s two-year contract extension was massive news for Manchester City. It kept Guardiola at the club which was huge for the world champions. The other massive bonus for the club is that they can plan for the future with the knowledge that Guardiola is a major attraction for players. Christian Falk’s report further highlights this point.

There is an allure to playing under Pep Guardiola for players. Erling Haaland is a prime example of this in recent times. Multiple clubs were interested in securing the signing of the Norwegian international. But the appeal of playing under Guardiola and at a club he supported as a child lured Haaland to the Etihad. Based on Christian Falk’s report there is the chance that the allure of playing under Pep Guardiola could aid Manchester City in their chase for Jamal Musiala.

Jamal Musiala would almost be a dream signing for Manchester City. He could be a player that Pep Guardiola could build his midfield around for years to come. Bayern Munich are understandably eager to sign Musiala to a new contract. But while they attempt to tie down one of their prized assets to a new deal the allure of playing Pep Guardiola does hover over proceedings. That may be Manchester City’s trump card in their chase for the German international.
