Reportedly, as per the Daily Star, the current European and English champions purportedly dispatched scouts to observe the performances of German midfielders Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz during the recent Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Pep Guardiola is known to admire both midfielders, and Manchester City is purportedly considering making bids for the pair in the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, City is anticipated to encounter competition from Premier League adversaries Liverpool, who have maintained a longstanding interest in securing the services of these two players. The Reds also purportedly sent their representatives to the high-profile Bundesliga encounter, which witnessed Leverkusen securing victory and extending their lead over Bayern Munich.

Both Bundesliga clubs are expected to demand transfer fees in the vicinity of £80 million (€93 million) for their respective players. Musiala, with only two years remaining on his current contract, might depart the club in the summer as negotiations for a new deal are yet to take place.

Thomas Tuchel’s team, having suffered defeats in their last two matches, will seek to return to winning form on Sunday as they face VFL Bochum. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso’s squad, holding an eight-point lead at the summit of the table, is scheduled to face Mainz next on Saturday.
