Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is reportedly eager to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala during the summer transfer window.
Guardiola, whose dream of winning a back to back Champions League title was terminated by Real Madrid Wednesday night sees the German-Nigerian born 21-year-old Musiala as a good replacement for Kevin De Bruyne in the near future.
Musiala has produced a string of impressive performances for the Bavarian club, resulting in interest from the likes of City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal.
In 36 appearances across all competitions for Bayern this season, Musiala has 12 goals and seven assists to his name.
Bayern are set to demand a huge fee if they are to part ways with their young star, he currently has a market value of €110 million on Transfermarkt.
Prior to moving to Bavaria, Musiala played in England for the likes of Southampton and Chelsea. The midfielder also represented the Three Lions at U15, U17 and U21 levels before opting to pledge his international allegiance to Germany.
Speaking recently about Musiala’s performances, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel said: “Jamal has been decisive in games time and time again in recent weeks, he’s very reliable.
“The mixture between dribbling and passing – in other words, the whole decision-making process – is very good. We’ll continue to push him because he’s going to be crucial for us.”
