Chelsea rival Liverpool, Manchester City in Jamal Musiala pursuit.
Fabrizio Romano insisted a host of Premier League sides are keeping tabs on ‘generational talent’ Jamal Musiala.
According to Fabrizio Romano via Caught Offside, there are a host of clubs in the Premier League that are keeping constant tabs on Jamal Musiala
. The 20-year-old ‘generational talent’ had a terrific season with Bayern Munich, with the club eager to tie him down to a long-term deal.
There’s something about certain players who instinctively show they are special.
That x-factor was seen in Jude Bellingham, and he rightly got his big move to Real Madrid.
Jamal Musiala is another such player who has shown there’s so much more to come from him.
Bayern Munich can consider themselves very fortunate to have managed to pluck him from Chelsea’s academy.
The move will come to bite back the Blues one day and put alongside mistakes such as Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah.
After a stellar season with Bayern, the 16-goal Bundesliga star, who also got 16 assists in all competitions, will target bigger things with the club.
The Bavarians are keen to extend his contract, but they are aware of the massive interest from elsewhere, with Real Madrid already plotting a 2024 move.
Fortunately for Bayern, Musiala still has three years to run on his current deal, but the club would want to reward him with a significant contract.
Now, as per Fabrizio Romano, there are a host of Premier League sides, including former club Chelsea, keeping constant tabs on the 20-year-old.
Manchester City are also keen on Musiala and want him as a long-term option.
They are also keeping tabs on another German talent in Florian Wirtz, but if the Bayern star becomes available, they could go all out on him.
Romano provided an update and also gave his thoughts on what Musiala might cost in the future.
Romano said, “Liverpool have been linked with Musiala, but trust me, it would not just be Liverpool; there are many important clubs around Europe keeping an eye on Musiala.”
“Jurgen Klopp knows the player’s talent very well, but also people at Chelsea, Manchester City, and clubs in Spain, because he’s one of the best young talents in world football.
So this is normal; it’s not about negotiating; it’s just about following a top young player.
“In my personal opinion, he’s worth more than €100m; I’d compare him to Jude Bellingham – a generational talent.
So of course Bayern absolutely plan to extend Musiala’s contract with an important proposal, and they will try also with Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies. It’s complicated, but still on.”
Liverpool’s interest in the 20-year-old is nothing new. Jurgen Klopp has had eyes for the player for some time now.
However, that price tag will bother the Reds to an extent, and they may lose out if any move for the 16-goal Bundesliga star becomes about money.
Similarly, Chelsea have also eyed a move for their former star.
The new policy in place at the club emphasises on bringing young stars and Musiala would fit that bill perfectly.
For them to compete with the other teams, Champions League football seems imperative, which they are quite far off as things stand.
As for Musiala, he seems happy at the club, and Bayern are not about to let him go without a massive fight.
They will appear confident of securing a new deal for the 20-year-old, as his future, barring some dramatic twist, should be at the club.
