Jamal Musiala's situation at Bayern Munich is starting to be a real problem for the Bavarian team. The German star's contract expires in June 2026, and at the moment, the footballer has still not made a definitive decision on the next step in his career. For this reason, concern is beginning to grow in the offices of the Allianz Arena, whose future plan is built around the playmaker.
The Munich club has not sat back and has already set in motion the machinery to get the player's signature on his new contract. The message is clear from Bavaria, where they do not hide their desire to continue counting on the player in the years to come. This time it was Max Eberl, sporting director of the German institution, who spoke out about Musiala's case in an interview with 'Sport1'.
"Of course we want to extend Jamal's contract. Talks are already underway and will now be intensified"
However, the German manager admitted that negotiations will not be easy for the current Bundesliga leaders. "It is difficult, but not impossible, because Jamal knows what he has at Bayern. He grew up here, got his first loans and reached this level," he explained.
Eberl does not rule out Musiala's departure in the future
For his part, Musiala is evaluating what options he may have in the future while Bayern try to convince him based on their sporting project. "We, as a club, are extremely ambitious. He knows this and wants to win titles...
... However, if Jamal wants to go somewhere else in 2026, then a solution will be found"
Beyond this, the Bavarians will remain firm in their conditions when signing his renewal, which is why they rule out the inclusion of an exit clause in Jamal's possible new contract. "This would be very unusual for Bayern Munich," said Eberl. At his former club, Gladbach, this was "almost logical, but Bayern is a very big club."
Barça, waiting
Thus, Musiala continues to analyse his future as the deadline of his contract approaches. The player will be free to negotiate with any club in just over a year, and Barça would like to take advantage of this situation to finalise his landing in Barcelona in the summer of 2025. A scenario that Bayern want to avoid at all costs, so they are starting to work against time to 'shield' their biggest star of the future.
