Last season’s treble-winners are currently embroiled in a three-way title tussle with Liverpool and Arsenal, so even though all focus is on retaining their crown, the club remain intent on identifying top targets to sign in the summer.
Man City transfer news: Pep Guardiola dreaming of Jamal Musiala
And according to recent reports, one name at the very top of Guardiola’s wishlist is Bayern Munich starlet Jamal Musiala.
Jamal Musiala is being linked with Man City and Real Madrid.
