It has been reported that Arsenal have now entered the race to sign Manchester City target Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich.
This comes from 90 Min after it was revealed by Fabrizio Romano on Wednesday that City were one of the few elite clubs in Europe exploring a blockbuster move for the German international.
But now, it seems like Arsenal are ready to compete with Manchester City to secure the services of Jamal Musiala.
Arsenal set to compete with Manchester City for Jamal Musiala transfer
Interestingly, the £91,000-a-week (Salary Sport) man was reported to be viewed as a long-term heir to Kevin De Bruyne’s throne by the treble-winners themselves, as per a revelation in September.
This just goes to show how highly-rated Musiala truly is as both fans and pundits alike would largely agree that he seems destined for greatness.
Now, it has been claimed that Arsenal are indeed keen on beating Manchester City amongst other clubs in the race to sign Jamal Musiala.
The Sky Blues are believed to be ‘huge fans’ of the 20-year-old but the same can be said for other Premier League teams like the Gunners, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
However, Bayern are believed to be confident that the Stuttgart-born attacker, branded as a ‘generational’ talent by Foot The Ball signs a long-term deal with them, as contract talks could be opened between both parties next year.
The sky would be the limit for Jamal Musiala under Pep Guardiola
If Jamal Musiala does return to England, it would not be a surprise to see him pick either Manchester City or Arsenal as his next destination, with the pair currently being the nation’s dominant footballing forces.
But one of, if not the biggest draw for the teenager would surely be the prospect of working under Pep Guardiola.
Considering how the Spaniard developed Kevin De Bruyne into one of the greatest players of his generation, the same could be the case with the German, who is a final third midfielder as well.
The idea of Guardiola finetuning Musiala’s game day in, day out is a scary sight for opposition defences.
