In a revealing interview that's set Premier League clubs on high alert, Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl has addressed the intense speculation surrounding German international Jamal Musiala.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder, considered one of Europe's most exciting talents, has entered the final 18 months of his contract at the Allianz Arena, creating a potential transfer opportunity for English giants Chelsea and Liverpool.
Contract Situation Creates Premier League Opportunity
Eberl acknowledged the delicate nature of Musiala's contract situation while expressing confidence in retaining the young star. 'We are in very, very good and close contact with Jamal and his management,' the Bayern chief revealed. 'We know what we have in him and we will do everything to ensure that he stays at FC Bayern for a long time.'
The timing of these comments is particularly significant, coming just weeks before Bayern faces crucial Champions League fixtures against Liverpool, giving scouts from Anfield a perfect opportunity to assess Musiala firsthand.
Chelsea's Long-Standing Interest
Chelsea's connection to Musiala runs deep - the talented playmaker spent eight years in Chelsea's youth academy before joining Bayern in 2019. The Blues have maintained interest in bringing their former prospect back to Stamford Bridge, viewing him as a potential cornerstone of their project under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Musiala's versatility across attacking positions and his proven ability in both Bundesliga and Champions League football make him an attractive target for both Premier League clubs as they plan their summer recruitment strategies.
What Makes Musiala So Special?
The statistics speak for themselves:
- 47 goals and 31 assists in 163 appearances for Bayern Munich
- Established Germany international with 25 caps
- Won multiple Bundesliga titles and a Champions League
- Combines technical excellence with tactical intelligence
At just 21 years of age, Musiala represents both immediate quality and long-term potential, explaining why Europe's elite clubs are monitoring his contract situation so closely.
With Bayern determined to secure their prized asset and Premier League giants ready to pounce, this transfer saga looks set to dominate headlines throughout the 2025 season.
