Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have shown interest in acquiring Jamal Musiala, who is now playing for Bayern Munich. Musiala is expected to become the focus of attention in the transfer market.
A bidding battle between these two European giants is anticipated to be sparked by Musiala, as was disclosed by SPORT.
Despite the fact that he is just 21 years old, the German midfielder is already regarded as one of the most promising prospects in Europe. He has shown his abilities throughout the course of the last several seasons. Although Bayern Munich is eager to keep him because they consider him to be an essential component of their future, the fact that his contract is set to expire in 2026 allows leeway for other teams to get into negotiations with him.
Similar to Real Madrid, Musiala’s status is being attentively monitored by Real Madrid. It is believed that the club considers him to be a possible candidate for the team that Carlo Ancelotti is coaching.
Nevertheless, Rodri, who plays for Manchester City, will continue to be Madrid’s top priority for the summer of 2019. Madrid might move quickly to get Musiala’s talents if he makes the decision to leave Bayern. Musiala would become a free agent in 2026, but Bayern could choose to sell him earlier if they make the decision to sell him before his contract ends.
Then there is Barcelona
On the other hand, Barcelona is extremely interested in Musiala, and Joan Laporta, the president of the club, has his sights set on making him a star acquisition for the summer of 2025.
The club’s plan is to make a dramatic statement before the next presidential elections by landing two high-profile acquisitions, and Musiala is the right candidate to fulfill that objective.
His price tag, on the other hand, will not come cheap, as Bayern is anticipated to seek over 130 million euros for him.
They are working toward achieving a financial boost via their deal with Nike, which would give them the financial capacity to fight for Musiala’s signing. Laporta and the administration of Barcelona are working toward secure this financial boost.
Last but not least, Bayern Munich is resolute in their pursuit of Musiala. Herbert Hainer, the president of the club, has made it known that they want him to be their next Thomas Muller, suggesting that they are looking for someone who could remain at the club for decades.
The new deal that Bayern has given Musiala has already been extended to him, but as of this moment, the player has not responded to the offer. It is because of this circumstance that elite teams like as Barcelona and Madrid remain on high alert, ready to strike if the chance presents itself.
