Bayern Muich star Jamal Musiala has emerged as one of European football’s hottest properties in the last 12 months with Real Madrid and Manchester City both tracking him.
The Germany international recently stated his sole focus is on Bayern Munich this season as they aim to win back their Bundesliga title in 2025.
His current contract in Bavaria expires in 2026, with club sporting director Max Eberl admitting a renewal could be difficult, as the club aim to convince the 21-year-old.

The key to any potential agreement appears to lie in Musiala’s confidence he can win the UEFA Champions League in Munich.
The last three Champions League crowns have been won by either Real Madrid or City, and that factor could prove crucial, as moves are made in 2025.
If Bayern Munich relent on their stance, and consider a sale to avoid a free transfer, reports from Teamtalk.com indicate they will bee quoting a £100m ($ 133m) asking price.
Both clubs have the financial resources to push for that fee which would match the club record City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021.
However, any move from City will be dependent on the outcome of the 115 charges of financial misconduct currently under investigation by the Premier League, with Real Madrid already boasting superstar attack.
