Jamal Musiala is a superstar at just 21, already a key player for Bayern Munich and Germany, he is on the path to becoming one of the greats. While teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Arsenal have shown interest in him in the past, Jamal Musiala is very close to signing an extension with his current employers. Even though the player has hinted at the possibility of playing somewhere else, it looks like he will sign an extension beyond his current deal which expires in 2026.
He is the youngest player to make a Bundesliga appearance for the club. The German can play different positions ranging from Central midfield to the wings. This versatility must be one of the reasons why Arsenal are looking to get him. The trio of Jamal Musiala, Martin Odegaard, and Declan Rice would be one of the best midfields in the world and help Arsenal transform from one of the best in England to truly world-class.
Jamal Musiala and Bayern negotiating salary?
Max Eberl, the sports director at Bayern has said that Musiala is close to signing an extension. Max said that he is very confident that the matter will be resolved positively. The Bavarians have a great squad, and Jamal is the crown jewel of the team. The club has told the players that they view him (Musiala), Joshua Kimmich, and a few others as the face of the club for the foreseeable future. According to the director, there is no reason for Musiala to leave the club.
There are talks about his salary. The player’s current deal fetches him around €8-9 million. The new agreement is expected to be until 2029 or 2030, with an annual salary of €25 million, including bonuses. Florian Plettenberg also wrote that no talks are ongoing with Real Madrid or Manchester City. City view him as the replacement for Kevin De Bruyne and the German was also linked to Arsenal in the past. With interest from so many top clubs, extending his contract is the best thing Bayern can do. Hoping to build a world-class team, around a world-class talent.
His stock has risen immensely in the last two to three years. Jamal Musiala is in the same league as Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer. An argument can be made that he is the best young attacking midfielder in the game right now. He had a great Euros, scoring and creating from the number ten position, not to overpraise but his ability to get past defenders reminds me a little bit of a certain left-footed Argentine.
Where would he play at Arsenal?
Arsenal have a stacked team, with good players at every position. Arteta knows what he wants from his players and his players know the manager wants from them. The Gunners have top defenders and the addition of Mike Merino has added a good defensive midfielder to the mix. Even though they have a great squad, the number of world-class players isn’t very high. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and William Saiba are the only world-class talents at Arsenal. They are world-class talents, not players. All four of them are young and still have a lot to prove. Jamal Musiala will raise the ceiling of what this team can achieve.
The German can play with Rice and Odegard in the midfield, Rice playing the single pivot. Stopping this attack is going to be extremely difficult for any opposition. Kai Havertz has been great leading the line, If Florian Wirtz signs for Arsenal or if Musiala does, they are bound to improve. It is players like him who can win you games on their own. He can dance through the defense and do magic on the pitch. The difference between a top team like City or Madrid and Arsenal comes down to the number of world-class players at the club.
