„Have to be reasonable“: Kompany announces Musiala talk with Nagelsmann | OneFootball

The situation surrounding Jamal Musiala remains a sensitive issue at FC Bayern – also with regard to the national team. Vincent Kompany has now announced that he will seek talks with national team coach Julian Nagelsmann in the near future

Musiala is again struggling with problems in his operated left foot and is currently out of action. At the same time, the first squad nomination of the World Cup year is imminent – and with it the question of whether the 23-year-old will be able to play for Germany again

For the Bayern coach, it is clear that close coordination is needed in this situation, which is why he wants to get in touch with Nagelsmann before the DFB squad is announced. „I will definitely talk to Julian on the phone. Let’s see what comes out of it,“ explained Kompany

The Belgian made it clear that both sides are ultimately pursuing the same goal: „I think we have the same interests. We all want to get a fit Jamal Musiala back.“

Musiala is definitely out of the question for the Champions League second leg against Atalanta Bergamo. The attacking player developed another complaint after his brief appearance in the first leg and currently has to take a break

It is therefore unclear whether he will be fit in time for the upcoming international matches. Nagelsmann will nominate his squad shortly – time is running out for a comeback

Säbener Straße is aware of the situation and does not want to take any risks after last year’s serious injury

„We have the same priorities one-to-one“

Kompany emphasized that the most important thing is to find the right way to deal with Musiala: „We just have to get it right now so that we can get Jamal back to his best level.“

Despite potential conflicts of interest between the club and the national team, Kompany sees no problems. On the contrary: he expects a constructive solution. „We have the same priorities one-to-one,“ the Bayern coach made clear

This sets the agenda: Musiala is to be built up carefully – regardless of whether his comeback initially takes place in a Bayern shirt or in DFB kit.
