🚨 "BIG competition" for Bayern star as Man City join Liverpool in the race for transfer
Who will win this exciting transfer battle?
Daily Briefing columnist Christian Falk has claimed that Manchester City are now joining Liverpool in the race to seal the transfer of Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala.
Posting on X yesterday, Falk said: “Pep Guardiola wants Jamal Musiala for Manchester City. Bayern and Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have now a big competition.”
The Germany international is yet to sign a new contract at the Allianz Arena, with Fabrizio Romano also recently reporting that there could be some doubts over his long-term Bayern future, with top clubs monitoring his situation.
Still, Romano also explained that one reason Bayern were delayed in negotiating a new contract for Musiala was due to there being so many changes at board level recently.
“Some reports in Germany are making big claims about the future of Jamal Musiala at Bayern Munich. His contract is due to expire in 2026, and at the moment it’s true that there is no agreement with Bayern over a new deal,” Romano said.
“Why? Because at the moment the plans to discuss a new contract were with Bayern’s old management – the likes of Oliver Kahn, who recently left the club – they were preparing a new contract proposal for Musiala, and then the management changed.
“Now there are new people in charge at Bayern, so the timing of the contract talks changed, and there are still no talks because of this change at the top of the club. Still, for Bayern it is an absolute priority to keep Musiala, because they know there will be interested clubs.
“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.”
