Manchester City have reportedly identified a potential transfer target who could be ideal to help them replace club legend Kevin De Bruyne in the near future.

City have an eye on Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, along with other top clubs like Real Madrid, according to a report in German outlet Sport Bild.

Musiala’s contract talks with Bayern have reportedly stalled over the past few weeks and, as per AZ, Guardiola wants the Citizens to take advantage of the situation to try and sign the 20-year-old. The City boss is also looking to the future and sees Musialas as a good candidate to take over from an ageing and as of recently, injury-prone, De Bruyne.

While the Bavarians and the German midfielder are still working out ways to continue their current relationship, it has been reported that with several top clubs interested Musiala could be snatched away. The reports have also stated that while Liverpool are still interested in signing the youngster, Guardiola’s City and Real Madrid are the likeliest destinations for Musiala if he decides to call it quits on his Bayern career.

Musiala will be in action on Saturday, October 28 when Bayern host Darmstadt in hopes of keeping up with Bayer Leverkusen.

Jamal Musiala to Manchester City?

The Germany international had a spell at Chelsea as a youngster and it may be that he’d be tempted to have another spell in the Premier League after launching his career in the Bundesliga.

It would surely be hard to say no to City boss Pep Guardiola, who has delivered so much success in recent times, and who tends to get the best out of every player he works with.
