BLOCKBUSTER BID: Manchester City Offer €200M + Jack Grealish for Jamal Musiala – Vincent Kompany Fires Back with Explosive Response
In one of the most audacious transfer proposals of recent times, Manchester City have reportedly offered a staggering €200 million plus star winger Jack Grealish in a bid to land Bayern Munich’s rising sensation, Jamal Musiala. The eye-watering deal, if accepted, would go down as one of the most expensive and shocking player swaps in football history.
According to sources close to the negotiations, City’s board—led by director of football Txiki Begiristain and backed by manager Pep Guardiola—are eager to secure Musiala as the centerpiece of their future midfield. The 21-year-old German international has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe thanks to his dazzling dribbling, playmaking intelligence, and maturity beyond his years.
City’s offer reportedly includes not only a record-breaking €200 million fee but also the inclusion of England international Jack Grealish, who joined the club for £100 million in 2021. Despite flashes of brilliance at the Etihad, Grealish has struggled with consistency, and the move signals Guardiola’s intent to refresh his squad with youthful dynamism.
However, Bayern Munich’s response was anything but passive.
Newly appointed head coach Vincent Kompany, a Manchester City legend himself, delivered a blunt and passionate response to the proposal that quickly made headlines across Europe.
“Jamal Musiala is not for sale. No amount of money or star player will change that,” Kompany stated during a press conference. “He’s the heart of our future, and Bayern Munich does not operate under pressure. Especially not from anyone.”
Kompany’s sharp rebuttal has been widely praised by Bayern supporters, who view Musiala as the symbol of a new era at the club. The German prodigy has become a fan favorite at the Allianz Arena and is expected to play a key role in both domestic and European campaigns next season.
Insiders suggest that while Bayern consider the offer “flattering,” they are united in their stance: Musiala is untouchable. The club reportedly sees him as a future Ballon d’Or contender and the spiritual successor to the likes of Thomas Müller.
Meanwhile, reactions from Manchester City fans have been mixed. Some believe the club is right to pursue a generational talent like Musiala at any cost, while others are reluctant to part ways with Jack Grealish, who remains a popular figure in the dressing room and among supporters.
Football analysts are also divided. Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp called the offer “one of the boldest moves City have ever made,” while ESPN’s Julien Laurens questioned the logic behind including Grealish in such a deal, arguing that it may disrupt team chemistry.
Despite Kompany’s strong words, many believe the saga is far from over. Manchester City’s financial power and their track record of securing top-tier talent mean that negotiations could continue behind closed doors. With the transfer window still open, the football world will be watching closely.
For now, however, Bayern Munich are standing firm, and Vincent Kompany has made it clear: Jamal Musiala is not going anywhere.
