Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is reportedly keen to bring Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala to the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly keen to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala.

The German has emerged as one of Europe's best talents, having established himself as a key part of the Bayern side over the last few years.

During his time in the Bayern first team, Musiala has scored 33 goals and contributed 26 assists in 135 competitive appearances.

Unsurprisingly, Musiala's consistent high-level of performances have led to interest from a number of Europe's biggest clubs.

A recent report claimed that Premier League giants Man City and Liverpool are among those targeting a move for the precocious talent.

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, Guardiola is pushing to bring the 20-year-old to the Champions League winners.

Musiala predominately plays as an attacking midfielder, but he is experienced in playing out wide as well as in a slightly deeper role.

If Man City were able to secure his services, he would likely provide competition for the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden.

In addition to Man City and Liverpool, Spanish giants Real Madrid are also monitoring the player's situation at the German champions.

The Germany international currently has over two-and-a-half years left on his current contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2026.

While Musiala is believed to be open to joining Man City or Real Madrid, Bayern are confident of reaching an agreement over a fresh contract.

Musiala played an important role in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Galatasaray after scoring the final goal in a 3-1 victory.

The youngster has now scored in his last two European outings, while he also contributed three assists in his 10 competitive appearances this season.
