By now it is no secret that Manchester City have an interest in one day signing Jamal Musiala. There have been enough clues over the past few months that suggest that City may eventually move for the German international. Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation surrounding Jamal Musiala. Based on Romano’s new information, if Bayern can’t tie down Musiala on a new contract, it may leave the door ajar for Manchester City to strike.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the situation surrounding Jamal Musiala’s future. The transfer guru explained that Bayern Munich are determined to tie down Jamal Musiala on a new contract. He explained: “Bayern want to extend the contract of Jamal Musiala, and this is a really important mission of this board, of this management. For them, it’s absolutely crucial to make it happen and to reach an agreement with Jamal Musiala. And as Max Eberl, the director, says for Bayern this is an important situation because they want Musiala one of the faces of the future for Bayern’s project. So he’s more than a player, he has to be the brand of Bayern, as a German player, as a fantastic player, fantastic talent – for Bayern, this is a really important mission.”
Romano further added that Bayern have offered a new deal to Musiala . He added: “They already presented a new contract proposal to Jamal Musiala. So there is already a conversation, there is already a kind of negotiation. It is not a fast one, it is not something they will resolve tonight or tomorrow, but there is a conversation, there is an exchange.”
Fabrizio Romano adds that if Bayern can’t agree on a new deal with Jamal Musiala Manchester City and other clubs are poised to strike.
Despite reporting on Bayern’s attempts to tie down Musiala on a new contract Romano added that Manchester City and other clubs are watching the situation surrounding Musiala’s future. He added: “Guys, I can guarantee to you that all the top clubs, including Real Madrid, including Man City, including more clubs in England – they all love Jamal Musiala. And in case he can’t agree on a deal with Bayern, they will be there, for sure. Many clubs, not just Real Madrid, not just Man City. But at the moment, Bayern are playing their cards, Bayern are in negotiations with Musiala, so let’s wait, let’s see what happens, let’s see how this conversation will go.”
If Bayern can’t tie down Musiala it will become one of next summer’s biggest transfer stories.
The future of Jamal Musiala has the potential to be one of biggest transfer stories throughout this season and next summer. Based on Romano’s report Manchester City could be at the centre of the story. If Bayern Munich can’t get Musiala to commit his future to the club it will put them in a tough situation next summer. Do they keep Musiala for the final season on his deal or cash in on one of the young stars of the game? The longer Musiala’s contract situation remains unresolved the more that scenario becomes a real possibility. Bayern Munich aren’t traditionally a club that sells their best players. But they may be forced to if Musiala doesn’t see his future at Bayern Munich.
There may also be a potential spanner in Bayern Munich’s plans to tie Jamal Musiala down on a new contract. A report from renowned German publication SportBILD suggests that Musiala finds a potential move to the Premier League appealing. If Bayern can’t sign Musiala on a new contract, that may be one factor that swings the pendulum in City’s favour in any battle to sign Jamal Musiala.
Summary.
Fabrizio Romano’s new report shows just how desperate Bayern Munich are to keep Jamal Musiala. That news isn’t a surprise. But if they can’t agree on a deal with the German international the race may be on to sign him. Based on Manchester City’s track record if the door is left open for them to sign Musiala they will make their move. That is likely a prospect that Bayern Munich don’t want to consider at this stage. But it could become a reality in the near future.
