‘Magical’: Gary Lineker wowed by Man City transfer target after ‘incredible’ performance at Euro 2024

The 2024 European Championship has seen a wide range of top-level players in action for their countries.

While the international tournament is currently going on, the summer transfer window is also open for business as clubs such as Manchester City look to prepare for next season.

Having won their sixth Premier League trophy in seven years at the end of their previous campaign, the Manchester club have been linked with a number of players over the past few weeks and months.

One, in particular, has recently caught the attention of a pundit as a result of his latest performance at the Euros.

Gary Lineker amazed by Jamal Musiala amid Man City transfer links

After watching Jamal Musiala score his second goal of the tournament in Germany’s recent 2-0 win over Hungary, Gary Lineker had this to say on The Rest Is Football about the midfielder, who a report from The Guardian claimed is a top transfer target for City this summer.

He said: “Musiala you know. I know we know he’s an incredible talent but boy oh boy he’s sharp. Magical.”

Musiala would be a star signing for City

The 21-year-old has scored 43 goals and provided 31 assists in 163 senior appearances for Bayern Munich across all competitions.

In his latest Bundesliga campaign with his current side, the German, who Eric Dier described as one of the best young talents he’s ever seen, racked up the joint-highest total of goal-creating actions (18) in the Bayern squad.

With two games now under his belt for Germany at the Euros, the midfielder has found the back of the net two times, with one coming in each match.

Having shown his talent for club and country, we feel that Musiala would be a star signing for City this summer if they were able to strike a deal with Bayern, who would presumably be keen to keep hold of him.
