Citizens are monitoring the condition of Jamal Musella. Despite the team's misfortunes this season, the Germany international has still impressed. The 21-year-old has scored 16 goals in 23 games and is a regular for the Bavarians.
The striker is one of Europe's most highly rated prospects and is entering the final two years of his contract.
Guardiola's side are looking to recruit an extra attacking midfielder to complement the potential arrival of Lucas Paqueta, who has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham, according to The Independent . With Phil Foden taking on increasing responsibilities and Kevin De Bruyne approaching his thirties, it seemed like the perfect time to bring in a young face at the Etihad. Michael Olise was also highly praised by Guardiola.
Although the star regularly features for Germany, he grew up in west London. He played for England's youth teams before switching to Germany.
Liverpool, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested but may have to sell a high-profile player to raise funds.
However, Musella may not be playing football in England but has caught the attention of Premier League legends.
Speaking in February 2024, Rio Ferdinand praised the German: “'I love him. I don't know where his ceiling is and it's great to see his teammates comment on how hardworking and professional he is.
“(Leon) Gotezka said he's probably the best talent Germany has ever had. The way he moves with the ball and glides. If he can fulfill that potential, I'd see him at some point in his career. He won the Ballon d'Or.”
He went on to compare him to Phil Foden, with the pair likely to join forces in Manchester this summer.
“He and Phil Foden receive the ball best in a position behind the midfielders and defenders.
“He doesn't look like the type of guy who gets too high when he's winning or takes too long when things aren't going well. He looks like a very balanced, measured kid who has a lot of good people around him. That has It's a long way off, which means he's very likely to be at the top of his game for a while.”
There is no doubt that Musela will have a huge influence on Germany's success at this summer's European Championships.
