When Jamal Musiala considers his options at Bayern Munich during the summer, he views Man City as an "attractive destination," according to sources. Last season, the Citizens won the Premier League for the fourth time in a row, solidifying Pep Guardiola's status as one of the greatest managers the English premier league has ever had.

With one year remaining on his contract, Guardiola is expected to depart when it does. Rumors have linked him to the England position following Gareth Southgate's resignation earlier in the month. Due to the former Bayern Munich manager’s possible departure, there has been conjecture that several of his top players may try to leave this summer. Transfer rumors have been made about Kevin de Bruyne, Ederson, Julian Alvarez, and Bernardo Silva.

Musiala of Bayern Munich is a guy Manchester City has long had their eye on, and there are reports the Premier League team is planning to make a deal for the Germany star to replace De Bruyne.

According to renowned writer Christian Falk, Musiala wants Bayern Munich to make an impression in the transfer market so that they can ensure that they will be vying for the UEFA Champions League trophy each season. Although some pundits have stated that now would be the ideal time to transfer the midfield player, Guardiola has recently reiterated that De Bruyne will remain at the Etihad Stadium.

Bayern Munich might lose out on superstar duo to Real Madrid

Regarding Alphonso Davies' future, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich remained in constant communication throughout the summer. The Bavarian heavyweights are putting a lot of effort into keeping their star left-back at the club, but despite his high asking price, the player seems intent on moving to Real Madrid.

Now, according to sources, Los Blancos are considering Joshua Kimmich, another star from Bayern Munich, as a possible target, especially considering his contractual situation. They like what the midfielder contributes to the table and were connected to Kimmich earlier this summer. The club reportedly withdrew from the contest because of the possible transfer fee, however the 29-year-old's contractual circumstances create an opening.
