Manchester City is leading the race to sign a star player from Bayern Munich

Manchester City is aiming to strengthen their squad with Bayern Munich's star Jamal Musiala. According to The Independent, the English club is leading the race for the talented winger.

Musiala's contract runs until 2026, and he has not shown a strong desire to extend it. Other clubs believe that the player could be available for purchase this year or next, with City showing the most interest.

It is noted that the player himself prefers to continue his career in the United Kingdom. Among the City's competitors are Liverpool, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.

The 21-year-old Musiala represents the German national team, but has strong ties to England, where he spent his childhood. He moved to Bayern Munich's academy from Chelsea's system.

In the current season, the talented winger has scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists in 34 matches across all competitions.

Earlier reports indicated that Manchester City would compete with Saudi clubs for the leader of Wolverhampton.
