Manchester City are considered the favourites to land a Bayern Munich star | OneFootball

By now it is almost certain that Manchester City have an interest in signing Jamal Musiala next summer. Given that players such as Kevin De Bruyne are getting close to the end of their storied careers the time is coming when City will begin to rebuild their midfield. Musiala appears to be the ideal player to one day replace Kevin De Bruyne. Now, a new report indicates that City is considered the favourite to sign the German international if he does become available next summer.

Christian Falk has reported via his exclusive Daily Briefing column that Manchester City are considered the favourites to land Jamal Musiala. Furthermore, Falk adds that Musiala is a highly ambitious player who wants to win the Champions League. Falk also reports that Manchester City’s status as a perennial contender for the competition makes them the favourite to land Musiala. It is also reported by Falk that Musiala’s connections to England make the Premier League an attractive destination for the German international. Lastly, Falk reports that Musiala signing a new deal with Bayern is considered the most likely scenario at this stage.

Jamal Musiala’s contract situation holds the key to City’s potential move for the German international.

It is obvious that the contract situation surrounding Jamal Musiala will dictate his future. If he signs an extension at Bayern, then the speculation over his future will end. But if he doesn’t by next summer’s transfer window then Manchester City have every chance of landing Musiala.

Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has previously spoken of how difficult Bayern’s negotiations with Jamal Musiala could potentially be. Speaking with German publication Sport1 he said: “It’s difficult, but not impossible. Jamal knows what he has at Bayern Munich. He grew up here and has brought himself to this level. Talks are intensifying. We are extremely ambitious, and he knows that, he wants to win titles.”

As Christian Falk reports Bayern Munich are the favourites to keep hold of their prized asset. They aren’t a club that traditionally loses key players. But that doesn’t mean that Musiala is certain to commit his future to the club. Falk’s report also shows that the Premier League is appealing to the German international. If he decides to move on from Bayern then Manchester City will be waiting to make their move. That has been apparent for some time and Falk’s new report further reiterates this point.
