Jamal Musiala has said that he is "very happy" at Bayern Munich amid suggestions that Manchester City are keen to bring him to the Premier League in the near future.
The Premier League champions are thought to view Musiala as a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who only has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until next summer.
Musiala's deal at Allianz Arena has two years left to run, meanwhile, and it has been suggested that the Germany international could return to England.
The 21-year-old has revealed his happiness at Bayern but admitted that "things can always change quickly in the world of football", with the attacker not closing the door on a move away from Allianz Arena.
"I'm very happy at FC Bayern and fully focused on our goals. Playing abroad like [Jude] Bellingham? I'm not thinking about where I will be in five years. Things can always change quickly in world of football," Musiala told Weltamsonntag.

Man City are believed to be huge admirers of Musiala
Musiala represented both Southampton and Chelsea during his youth career before returning to Germany with Bayern in 2019, progressing to the first team in 2020.
The attacker has made 166 appearances for Bayern in all competitions, scoring 44 goals and registering 31 assists in the process, while he has five goals and five assists in 34 games for Germany.
Last season, Musiala managed 12 goals and eight assists in 38 appearances for Bayern, before scoring three times at Euro 2024 against Scotland, Hungary and Denmark.
The forward is already off the mark in terms of goals for the new season, meanwhile, finding the back of the net against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga at the end of last month.

Bayern "very surprised" by Musiala Ballon d'Or snub
Musiala was surprisingly left off the shortlist for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, and Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl has criticised the decision.
"I don't begrudge any player who was nominated for the Ballon d'Or, but we at FC Bayern are very surprised that Jamal Musiala is missing from this list," Eberl told dpa.
"Jamal was one of the most exceptional players at Euro 2024, was selected to the team of the tournament and was among the top scorers.
"Bayern also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League thanks to Jamal's great performances. The fact that he is now not even among the 30 best players of the past season is completely incomprehensible to us."
Musiala is currently with the Germany squad preparing for their UEFA Nations League fixtures against Hungary and Netherlands on September 7 and September 10 respectively.
