Manchester City have burned £180 million+ in the winter transfer window. Characterized by a good dose of panic after a horrible start to the season, but also part of a necessary generational change. In the summer, several big signings have been announced, but the plan to persuade Jamal Musiala to move to the Etihad, it must be scrapped.

Musiala has been on Pep Guardiola’s wish list for the past year, City have worked to take advantage of the fact that the 21-year-old’s negotiations for an extension with Bayern Munich had stalled. On Friday, this project will stop.

The Bayern Munich management could proudly confirm that Musiala, with his already 193 appearances and 58 goals, extends until 2030 with a guaranteed sugary wage deal.
