Manchester City ‘happy to spend €100 million’ on Bundesliga winger – Rival interest from Chelsea and Liverpool | OneFootball

Officials at some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs would be happy to sanction an eye-watering nine-figure sum to sign one of Bayern Munich’s superstar attackers.

Manchester City’s transfer strategy has undergone significant changes this summer, with high-profile departures reshaping Pep Guardiola’s squad following prolonged success with core members of the side.

Ederson left for Fenerbahce, İlkay Gündoğan made the switch to Galatasaray, while Manuel Akanji joined Inter on an initial season-long loan, signalling a broader evolution of the Etihad Stadium’s project.

At the same time, Jack Grealish secured a loan move to Everton, ending ongoing speculation over his short-term future at the club and City’s focus now appears firmly set on replenishing their forward options further.

Despite having secured Rayan Cherki in a headline deal earlier in the summer window, Pep Guardiola is still expected to lean further into strengthening wide areas in future markets. With Oscar Bobb returning from a long-term injury and Divine Mukasa rising through the academy, the club remain determined to maintain depth and balance across their frontline.

This reshuffle has left Manchester City in a position where another major attacking signing next summer is viewed as feasible, and club officials seemingly remain keen to ensure that Erling Haaland has a high-quality supporting cast on either flank.

According to German outlet SportBild, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, Liverpool interest is being put forward the strongest at present within the newspaper’s report.

It is also being claimed that Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea are ‘very keen’ on the right winger and, perhaps remarkably, would reportedly be happy to spend €100 million on him next summer.

Should Bayern Munich make the player available, a bidding war between England’s elite appears inevitable. For City, the reported willingness to stretch towards €100 million shows a clear readiness to compete at the very top of the transfer market.

Speculation will continue throughout the season, with Bayern under pressure to balance sporting ambitions with financial realities. For Guardiola’s men, the next steps could hinge on how current forwards adapt, particularly Cherki’s adjustment to English football and Bobb’s trajectory.

The prospect of City landing another Bundesliga superstar also revives memories of their success in signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. Whether that track record proves decisive remains to be seen, but with Liverpool and Chelsea equally determined, the race for Bayern’s winger promises to be a hot topic in the coming months.
