Jamal Musiala, the 21-year-old Germany international and highly regarded young player, has reportedly declined a new £150,000 per-week contract offer from Bayern Munich. He is said to be targeting a move to the Premier League this summer.
Manchester City is reportedly 'increasingly confident' of securing Musiala's signature, with Liverpool also expressing interest in signing him. Both teams have sent scouts to watch Musiala play against Bayer Leverkusen last month.
Musiala's former club, Chelsea, is also showing a strong interest in the attacking midfielder. However, it is suggested that Musiala may be hesitant to choose Stamford Bridge unless Chelsea qualifies for the Europa League.
Musiala currently has two years remaining on his contract with Bayern Munich, making him an expensive acquisition. It is reported that he will cost at least £80 million.
In an interview with BILD last year, Musiala expressed his ambition to become one of the best players in the world. He also mentioned that the Premier League is currently the strongest and most attractive league. While he feels comfortable and focused on success with Bayern, he acknowledged that anything can happen in the future.
Jamal Musiala, born in Stuttgart, moved to England at the age of seven and played for Southampton and Chelsea youth teams.
