Alan Shearer says player Man City as Phil Foden replacement is so‘impressive’ and actually been the best player at Euro 2024.
Alan Shearer has made a huge claim about one reported Manchester City target.
It was claimed last Monday that City will only make a major summer signing if they sell one of their players but even so, they continue to be linked with big names in the transfer market.

It seems like transfer business for all clubs will accelerate only after Euro 2024 draws to a close. Manchester City’s potential outgoings will perhaps also be decided once the tournament comes to an end.

Alan Shearer makes big claim about Man City target Jamal Musiala
Pep Guardiola and Co. will be taking a close look at the standout performers at the European Championship.
City tend not to sign players solely due to the fact that they have shone at an international tournament. But if a player does, it is certainly impressive due to the pressure of representing one’s country and the difficulty of replicating one’s club form at such a prestigious competition.
MORE MAN CITY STORIES
Jamal Musiala is one player who has been linked with Manchester City — with a report stating this month that while they showed their interest in him, a transfer seems “too difficult to pull off.”

Now, Alan Shearer has claimed that City-linked Musiala, who has been making waves for Germany at Euro 2024 has been the tournament’s best player.

Shearer said on The Rest Is Football podcast: “[Jamal] Musiala was great, wasn’t he?”
“Been great. Certainly first two games anyway. Yeah, I would think him, Player of the Tournament up to now but what’s he had three games, wasn’t so good in the final game but first two games, he was impressive.”
Julian Nagelsmann provides Jamal Musiala blueprint to Man City
It is difficult to look past too many other players over Musiala as Euro 2024’s best player, as Shearer stated.
If Manchester City do end up signing Musiala, Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann has provided the tactical blueprint on how they should utilise him.
Considering Pep Guardiola does not often play Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden as a pair of attacking midfielders, he might refrain from doing the same in the 21-year-old’s case.
However, much like how Guardiola utilised Foden as an inside forward last season with Gvardiol holding the width as an advanced left-back, Nagelsmann has also deployed Musiala in a similar position — with Maximilian Mittelstadt tasked to stay high and wide.
If Kyle Walker and Josko Gvardiol were to be utilised as touchline-hugging full-backs, City could fit Musiala, Foden and Kevin De Bruyne in the same team — creating chances for Erling Haaland from central areas.
Whether Manchester City will be able to sign Musiala is a different story but as Shearer stated, he has been terrific at the European Championship so far.

Report: Man City and Real Madrid in Shocking £118M Swap Deal Talks
Manchester City’s Bold Move: Potential Swap Deal with Real Madrid
In a stunning turn of events, Manchester City are reportedly considering a sensational swap deal that would see Kevin De Bruyne and another key player move to Real Madrid, with a top-class forward arriving at the Etihad in exchange, report Team Talk. This potential blockbuster deal has the football world buzzing, with sources from Team Talk highlighting the key elements and implications of this proposed transfer.
Manchester City’s Bold Move: Potential Swap Deal with Real Madrid
In a stunning turn of events, Manchester City are reportedly considering a sensational swap deal that would see Kevin De Bruyne and another key player move to Real Madrid, with a top-class forward arriving at the Etihad in exchange, report Team Talk. This potential blockbuster deal has the football world buzzing, with sources from Team Talk highlighting the key elements and implications of this proposed transfer.
De Bruyne himself has hinted at the possibility of leaving Europe altogether. Speaking about a potential move to Saudi Arabia earlier this month, he stated: “For Michele [his wife], an exotic adventure is okay. These are also conversations that we are increasingly having as a family. I still have one year left on my contract, so I have to think about what could happen. My eldest son is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play for City. Once the moment comes, we will have to deal with it in a certain way.”
Julian Alvarez: A Rising Star
The other player reportedly involved in this swap deal is Julian Alvarez. The young Argentine striker has impressed since joining City and is considered one of the brightest prospects in world football. Letting Alvarez leave would be a significant gamble for City, given his potential and the role he is expected to play in the club’s future. Unless Alvarez himself requests a transfer, it is hard to imagine City parting ways with him.
The Real Madrid Perspective
From Real Madrid’s point of view, acquiring Kevin De Bruyne would be a massive coup. De Bruyne’s experience, creativity, and leadership would be invaluable to Los Blancos as they look to reclaim domestic and European glory. Julian Alvarez, with his youth and potential, would also be a strategic long-term investment.
However, parting with Rodrygo, who has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s recent successes, might be a tough decision. Rodrygo’s record of 54 goals and 41 assists has helped Madrid secure major trophies like the Champions League and La Liga. His potential departure would leave a significant void in the squad.
Conclusion
While this proposed swap deal between Manchester City and Real Madrid is still in the realm of speculation, it highlights the ambitious strategies both clubs are willing to consider to achieve their goals. City are keen to bolster their squad and maintain their dominance in the Premier League and Europe, while Real Madrid are always on the lookout for world-class talent to enhance their storied legacy.
As the transfer window progresses, fans will be eagerly watching to see if this audacious swap deal materialises. One thing is certain: the potential movement of Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez, and Rodrygo could reshape the landscape of European football.

We’ll take VAR’s word for it, but we have to admit the offside call to disallow Mo Salah’s cameo goal is rather dubious.
Screenshots of the incident shared online during Liverpool’s Europa League clash with Sparta Prague certainly indicate it was, at the very least, a particularly tight call.
Errrrrrr…. is that offside? pic.twitter.com/4e7siWRb41
— Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) March 7, 2024
We’re not quite sure if the VAR operators have based the lines on our Egyptian King or one of his teammates though.
He looks, in our view, to be just about onside.
Ah well. A 5-1 win it is in Prague, thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s late effort!

5 talking points from Liverpool’s 5-1 win vs Sparta Prague
Alex Caple
9 SECONDS AGO
ALEX CAPLE
Liverpool beat Sparta Prague 5-1 in the first leg of their Europa League Last 16 meeting. Here are five talking points from the game.
ONE RISK TOO MANY?
Jurgen Klopp didn’t take too many chances with his starting XI. No abundance of kids here in what was a very strong team, but also one that didn’t risk fitness.
Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai both started on the bench, with Conor Bradley and Virgil van Dijk also out of the XI for once. It was a team that offered plenty of hints for the plan against Manchester City.

The downside? Ibrahima Konaté went off early in the second half, bringing Van Dijk on earlier than planned. We’ll see how that affects things at the weekend, though the Frenchman did walk off.
DARWIN NOTCHES NO.1000
Darwin Nunez put on a show here. He only played 49 minutes but managed to score two fantastic goals that essentially killed the tie.
The first saw him compoase himself before sending a swirling shot over the goalkeeper from the edge of the box. The second was a first-time finish to send a bouncing ball into the far corner from distance.
Just two moments of magic from a player in fantastic form.
His first was also notable for being the 1000th Liverpool goal under Jurgen Klopp – a historic one, then. A no better player to score it than someone who is epitomising the German’s style of play right now.
KELLEHER INCREDIBLE ONCE AGAIN
Caoimhin Kelleher has one of the most difficult tasks going in living up to Alisson Becker. He’s somehow doing it.
The Irishman came into this one on the back of three clean sheets and was bitterly unlucky not to make it four. His first-half save was world-class, and he then provided another brilliant stop to tip a dipping ball over the bar.
Jurgen Klopp has long said he’s the best no.2 goalkeeper in football. He’s certainly playing like that right now.
MUCH-NEEDED RESULT
Liverpool have some enormous games coming up. The big win here just eliminated one of them – the Reds can go into the second leg next week with a four-goal headstart.
That should allow plenty of rest ahead of the FA Cup clash with Manchester United before the international break. And it means Klopp and co. won’t be worrying about that fixture during the big one this Sunday.
A positive game all-around, then – except for that Konaté injury.
ONTO THE MAN CITY GAME
Liverpool’s attention now turns to Manchester City and the biggest game of the season this Sunday. A win would leave the Reds as title favourites.
They very nearly set themselves up perfectly here. Darwin Nunez got 49 minutes, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mo Salah both got second-half minutes, and they were able to rotate well in midfield across the 90 minutes.
Of course, the Konaté injury (we’ll mention it one more time) is an issue. If it turns out to be nothing, then this was exactly what Liverpool needed going into Sunday.

Darwin Nunez is just an absolute pleasure to watch, isn’t he?
You’ve seen him hit some stunners, you’ve seen him miss sitters – but he never (NEVER) fails to entertain in the famous red shirt Liverpool.
Nor our white and green away shirt for 2023/24, with the Uruguayan doubling our lead in Prague with a superb long-range effort.
All that and in his 50th start for Jurgen Klopp’s men! How about that, eh?
