Jamal MUSIALA is a MANCHESTER CITY' PLAYER 😱 So, what it will be? | WHAT IF

Manchester City are set to explode another transfer bomb this summer, and that bomb is called Jamal Musiala!

In this video, Fanatico will tell you why the Citizens need Musiala, how they will acquire him, and how Jamal will perfect City. So subscribe to us and let's get started!

Manchester City’s big plan

The other day, a big British outlet, the Independent, dropped huge news that Manchester City had made Jamal Musiala one of their top two transfer targets for the summer.

This information raises two obvious questions: how can you buy the Bayern Munich star and why do Manchester City need another attacking player?

If you don't delve into the details, this news seems like a simple fake for hype, but in fact, the citizens' interest in Jamal is perhaps the most logical thing imaginable.

Let's take a look at why City need Jamal. Indeed, Pep has De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, Doku, Grealish and young Bobb among his attacking midfielders. Alvarez also often plays in the midfield. So why add an extremely expensive player to what is potentially the best midfield in the world?

The fact is that in Musiala, the citizens see a direct replacement for Bernard Silva. The German will not be an addition to the squad, he will be meant to replace one of the most important players in the team in recent years.

Yes, the Portuguese is more than 75% likely to leave Manchester City in the summer. For several years now, Bernardo has been hinting that he wants a new challenge in his career, but City have been persuading him to stay for another season and would not let him go.

Last year, Silva stayed on the condition that he would re-sign a contract with the citizens that would include a £50 million release clause. He wanted to have a guarantee that he could eventually leave the club if he wanted to.

So next summer, any club that pays City 50 million pounds will be able to get Bernardo and the Manchester management will not be able to do anything about it. Is there any doubt that there are two dozen clubs in the world that will be willing to pay this money? We have none!

Therefore, from this point of view, Musiala is an obvious and, moreover, perfect option to replace the Portuguese.

And what about the other concern: how to buy a player from a giant like Bayern? In fact, City have some tools here as well. The fact is that Musiala's contract expires in 2026, and if the player does not want to extend it, the summer of 2024 is the last opportunity to sell the footballer at the highest price.

In 2025, no one will pay more than 100 million euros, because everybody will choose to wait a year and sign the player for free in 2026. Therefore, the price for Musiala in a year's time will be much lower than this summer.

Of course, Munich can try to extend Jamal's contract, but it will all depend on the player. And the midfielder has long made no secret of the fact that he sees himself playing in the Premier League in the future.

In this regard, Bayern have always acted rationally, and if Munich fail to extend the contract with the German, they might sell him. For City, this will mean breaking their own transfer record, as Jamal's transfer will cost between 120 and 150 million euros. However, this amount is affordable for the club: it will cost them nothing to use the funds from the sale of Bernardo and add another 80 million.

Therefore, Manchester City's hunt for Musiala is not a bluff, but a real and extremely important deal that the club is already working on. Like this video if you want to see Jamal under Pep Guardiola!

Musiala vs Bernardo

Let's compare Bernardo Silva and Jamal Musial to better understand why City target the German as a replacement for their number 20. The qualities that Pep Guardiola values in Bernardo are his game intelligence, phenomenal dribbling, stamina and versatility. Musiala has a very similar profile.

Jamal, like Silva, is a very intelligent player. And his dribbling looks like he has a ball magnet in his feet. Just like in Bernardo's case. But what is impressive is that Musiala has such a dribbling ability with a height of 184 centimeters.

That is, although we admire Silva's ball handling, few people are surprised that a tiny player of short stature can dribble well. In Musiala's case, it's a rather unique skill. Just look at this goal he scored, which was named the best goal of March in the Bundesliga. Wow!

Jamal also has no problems with stamina. Not only can he work hard, but he is also more powerful than Bernardo.

Where Musiala is still inferior to the Portuguese is in versatility. Bernardo played in all positions in the midfield under Guardiola, including the position of holding midfielder. And several times Pep even used him on the left in defense.

However, for Jamal, this is rather an opportunity than a problem - Guardiola will teach him everything.

Musiala will undoubtedly be perhaps the greatest signing of Manchester City's summer transfer and City will become formidable. It would be a joy to watch him in a City shirt.

[georgeemmanuel]

With Musiala penetrating from the middle of the box and foden shooting from outside the box! This city team will dominate Epl for many years

[Epic-Poetry]

Great video, really cool! Musiala's versatility will interest City, i.e. lw, rw, no. 10. Pacqueta is good, but he's under a betting irregularity investigation and that is blocking the transfer.

[martinkamoto]

I think man city will wait till 2025 summer to make a move even if Bernardo leaves…….they have echeveri coming in and Bobb will probably have a bigger role next season if Bernardo leaves and if they fail to fill the gap then man city will look to add musiala/wirtz

[SakheleMani]

I hope musiala and frimpong goes to Man City 🎉.

[OmarElAMMARI-ucob]

MUSIALA WILL REPLACE GUNDOGAN NOT BERNARDO

[trevorstatham]

Florian Wirtz would be a better fit though

[daltonduce]

We won’t sign him. Too big a transfer we will be asked to pay close to 100m and we don’t pay that kinda cash.

[meronelilyas]

U need to do better research musiala had played as a lw cam rw 6 and 8

[johnjantz]

Hope he likes playing non league football because that’s where city are heading

[subhayanbose]

dream on. dreaming is free. musiala is Bayern's face!

[ryanstewart]

Zero chance Bayern sell him, keep dreaming

[kieran]

Musiala also played defensive midfield, right wing and striker

[Atreusz]

Why should Musiala switch to the Kamel Driver Club? they don't even have fans. 😂😂

[BarnabaPanekokThuou]

This season, if man City never buy Jamal musiala, than Real Madrid will take champion league again. Pep Guardiola unforgetable manager you for us Jamal musiala please, to keep our happiness and let Kevin De Bruyne stay.

[budimanijaya]

Musiala will need to learn to adjust in man city.
Its not easy playing with man city, 90% of their opponents will park the bus, the space is very tight.
Musiala is very good at dribbling in small space, just like bernardo, but he will need time.
Its better if bernando can stay another year and share his experience to musiala

[MrJayyangie]

Would be great to add him. But if everyone stays I would prefer Frimpong first.

[ericwilliams]

with city's style of play wirtz would be much better

[ericwilliams]

also bernado is staying until pep leaves

[erikschlangenauge]

More interesting question: how big and successful will City be when Pep leaves ?
