Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala is one of the best, young players in the world and with his contract set to expire in 2026, some clubs — including his own — are eager to engage in discussions.
The Bavarians are the clear frontrunners in the hunt and could have a deal done as soon as January. However, that does not mean other teams will just quit and walk away. Some clubs will lob a friendly volley over hoping to spark a conversation — including Liverpool FC.
Per Rousing the Kop correspondent Graeme Bailey, Liverpool wants to be ready to act quickly if Musiala has second thoughts about a future in Germany:
RTK understands that Liverpool view Musiala as a generational talent and see the potential chance to bring him to Anfield as being too good to turn down. However, it’s understood that there is yet to be any guarantee that the former Chelsea prospect will be available.
While Musiala has publicly admitted that he will not sign a new deal at Bayern before Christmas, RTK has been informed that it is still possible that he commits his future to the German giants in 2025. Nevertheless, Liverpool are understood to be fully aware of Musiala’s situation and are taking steps to ensure they stay in the race.
RTK transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey has been told that the Reds are very much in touch with the Germany international’s representatives in order to stay in the loop. However, these discussions are simply preliminary for the moment, with Liverpool understood to have told Musiala that they will be ready and waiting if and when he decides that his future lies away from Bayern.
Barring a sudden change of heart, Musiala looks headed toward an extension with Bayern Munich, but it is smart for Liverpool to at least kick the tires on such a dynamic player just in case something awry.
