Why Bayern Couldn’t Let Musiala Go?

People visit the stadium because of Jamal Musiala. He is a really outstanding player. There are times when you feel as though gravity has no relevance to him.

That was the compliments for the 21-year-old Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer when the team revealed Musiala had signed a deal until 2030. Given he was approaching the last year of his current contract, the record German champions must find great comfort.

Anything other than an extension may have left Bayern in a very difficult position with clubs in the Premier League and La Liga keen. Although sources close to the club had said at the end of last year negotiations between Bayern and Musiala’s representatives were moving well, it still took some time before a definitive deal was achieved.

With his new contract, Musiala will make £20.8 million annually, ranking alongside England captain Harry Kane among Bayern’s top earners.

Bayer Leverkusener

Currently eight points clear of Bayer Leverkusener, who they host at the BayArena on Saturday, the Musiala-Kane alliance is also a crucial component of the team’s performance securing a comfortable lead in the Bundesliga. Friday’s news might very possibly raise Bayern’s mood even further before the top-of- the-table game.

Bayern was expecting he had acquired a rare gem at the time of his relocation from England, even if he was not as well-known to the general public at the time. They most definitely did as well. Within a few years, the Stuttgart-born Musiala developed from a decent midfielder into among Europe’s top playmakers.

He finally chose to play for Germany, establishing himself as the kingpin of Die Mannschaft alongside Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, even though he represented England’s young national teams until November 2020.
