Rumors have been swirling about Jamal Musiala potentially making a move to the Premier League, as Bayern Munich's director of sport Max Eberl revealed that contract negotiations are still ongoing. With the 21-year-old midfielder's contract set to expire in 2026, there is no immediate rush for Bayern to secure his future, but Eberl remains confident that the club will be able to keep one of their star players.
Musiala, who started his youth career at Chelsea, has been a crucial part of Bayern's squad since becoming their youngest ever Bundesliga player in 2020. This has caught the attention of Premier League clubs, with Manchester City and Arsenal being linked as potential suitors for the talented German. However, Eberl believes that Musiala has the potential to become a key player for Bayern, alongside the likes of Josh Kimmich.
In regards to Musiala's future, Eberl stated, "There was not just one meeting, we're in talks. I'm very confident. Something is happening here and Jamal is noticing that too." He also expressed his optimism that an agreement will be reached, as he sees no reason for Musiala to leave Bayern. These sentiments were echoed by Musiala himself, as he stated that he is currently happy at Bayern and focused on their goals, but also acknowledged that things can change quickly in the world of football.
Musiala's absence from the starting lineup in Bayern's recent Champions League defeat to Aston Villa raised some eyebrows, but manager Vincent Kompany stated that it was simply a fitness issue. He explained, "We have to look at the workload a bit. The game against Leverkusen took a lot of energy. If we feel that someone is not fresh, then we have the squad for that." Kompany also reassured fans that Musiala can still make an impact off the bench.
As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen whether Musiala will make a move to the Premier League or stay with Bayern. But for now, both the club and the player seem committed to reaching a positive resolution for his future.
