The connection between Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich and Manchester City is gradually evolving. According to Football365, Kevin De Bruyne’s future at City could influence how intensely the club pursues Musiala.

Musiala’s potential transfer to Manchester City has also attracted attention in Spain, with one newspaper describing it as a ‘bombshell’ and a German publication viewing City as a ‘promising destination’. While Guardiola has stated that De Bruyne will remain at the Etihad, former Manchester City goalkeeper David James suggests the club should consider moving him “sooner rather than later”. James also noted that De Bruyne’s situation could impact Musiala’s transfer prospects.

“It’s interesting how a player’s performance in the Euros can either boost or damage their reputation. For Kevin De Bruyne and Belgium, it was a disappointing tournament after a stellar season with Manchester City,” James told fairbettingsites.co.uk. “De Bruyne has been crucial to City’s recent successes, but if the club decides to sell him—especially with positive reports about opportunities in Saudi Arabia—they should act sooner rather than later to allow for adjustments.

“De Bruyne is a key player for City, and if they plan to replace him, making a move sooner would be beneficial for the team.”
