According to recent sources, Manchester City is becoming increasingly assured that they will sign Jamal Musiala this summer.

Liverpool and Chelsea are also interested in the Bayern Munich offensive midfielder, but the Premier League winners may have the upper hand.

Musiala apparently declined a new contract offer at the Allianz Arena, according to the Daily Star. And this will undoubtedly lead to more rumors that Musiala is pondering a move.

City and Liverpool are among the teams hoping to persuade Musiala to leave Bayern this summer. Each team’s scouts were present when the Bavarians lost to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last month.

Bayern had offered £150,000 per week to extend the 21-year-old’s contract, which runs until June 2026. The 25-cap German international has four assists and nine goals in 28 games this season, making him a valuable component of Die Roten.

However, it was supposedly revealed to Manchester City last week that Musiala had decided not to sign a new contract. The former Chelsea academy product has played over 150 games for the German powerhouses.

Although Liverpool is apparently interested in the midfielder, Manchester City is reportedly becoming more confident in landing him. Chelsea is also interested, though they may not have a realistic chance of a transfer until they qualify for Europe.

Musiala is projected to cost at least £80 million and might be paid up to £200,000 per week. His current salary at Bayern is thought to be around £90,000.

The German has previously made brief mention of a possible move to the Premier League. He mentioned last year:

“The Premier League is currently the strongest and most appealing league in the world, but I feel at ease here and am focused on achieving success with Bayern.” But you never know what might happen in a few years.”

The 21-year-old Musiala is already playing the finest football of his career, and if he joins Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, he will be one of the most promising young players on the team.

Defenders will struggle to cope with Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Jamal Musiala on the same squad.
