In recent weeks it was beginning to look like a future move from Manchester City for Jamal Musiala could be beginning to come together. There have been enough clues in recent months that suggest that it isn’t a far-fetched possibility that City will move for the German international next summer. Now a new report indicates that Musiala has rejected a new contract offer from Bayern Munich. If that report is correct the stars appear to be aligning for a move for Musiala by the world champions next summer.

Fraser Watson has reported for the Express that Jamal Musiala has rejected Bayern Munich’s latest contract offer. Furthermore, Watson reports that Bayern are seemingly reluctant to meet Musiala’s wage demands. Fraser Watson goes on to report that Musiala is demanding wages of £300k per week. Watson adds that Musiala’s advisors believe that this figure represents his value after a string of strong performances. Lastly, Watson adds that Manchester City are now seen as the favourites to sign the German international.

The more Jamal Musiala’s contract situation drags on the more it appears that City could eventually sign Jamal Musiala.

Fraser Watson’s latest report does give the impression that the stars are aligning for a future move from Manchester City for Jamal Musiala. If Watson’s report is correct, it now appears unlikely that Musiala will sign a contract extension with Bayern Munich. If the Bundesliga giants are unwilling to meet Musiala’s wage demands then that move could see them sell Musiala next summer.

Bayern Munich would be unwilling to risk losing Jamal Musiala for free next summer. Next summer could be their only chance to cash in on the German international. Fraser Watson further reports that they would demand a fee of over £120 million for Musiala. That is a fee that Manchester City could easily afford to pay for one of the emerging stars of the world game. They would, however, face competition to sign Musiala if he does become available next summer. Watson also reports that Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all monitoring the Jamal Musiala situation. But Manchester City seem to be poised to strike first for the German international as it stands currently.

The stars look to be aligning for a future move from Manchester City for Jamal Musiala. Fraser Watson’s new report does give the impression that Musiala’s future is beginning to lie away from Bayern Munich. That situation is starting to play further into Manchester City’s hands. It is now becoming a big story to watch for as the season continues. If Bayern can’t agree a new deal with Musiala then City will likely make a move for the playmaker next summer. That possibility is edging ever closer to reality based on Fraser Watson’s new report.
