'Musiala target': FC Barcelona's plan to sign Bayern Munich star

Everyone wants Jamal Musiala. The 21-year-old midfielder is being pursued by the best clubs in Europe and, of course, FC Barcelona could not be left out. The board of the Blaugrana team has been following the young talent for years and is willing to do what is necessary to sign him in the summer of 2025.

Let's remember that by next year, the culé team should have already returned to the 1:1 rule of financial fair play, so there would be no restrictions when it comes to signings. So the president, Joan Laporta, has a clear strategy: make one or two signings, since it will be the last summer before the presidential elections. Musiala, right now, is the favorite to reinforce Hansi Flick's team.

Barça has Musiala as a priority

The Barça board is still looking for a top-level left winger. Although Nico Williams is still on the list of favourites, everything has changed because the young German has not renewed his contract with the Bavarian team. In addition, Musiala has more experience in every sense than the Athletic Club player and has established himself as one of the best both in Bayern and in the German national team.

Therefore, Laporta's idea is to invest more than 100 million to snatch him from Bayern Munich and take him to play at the Camp Nou. The German is also a fan of Lionel Messi, so it would be a bit of a commonality that would unite them. Not to mention that he knows Hansi Flick perfectly during his time with the Bundesliga team, with which he won the sextuple and then with the German national team.

Flick would be key to convincing him. The coach knows that Musiala is one of the best players in Europe and has no problem praising him every time he is asked about him. So, if it were up to him, he would have him available this season and could be the determining factor in the operation. If this signing goes through, Laporta could secure another vote in favour of him in the elections.

Bayern refuse to lose the player

The young talent has a contract with the Bavarian team until 2026, but Max Eberl's sporting director refuses to let him go. According to reports from German media, the club will begin talks with the player and his entourage after the international break ends in September. Confidence, at the moment, seems to be high, but everything will depend on what the player decides, who will not lack offers to leave next summer, if he decides to end his story in the team managed by Vincent Kompany.
