Man Utd, PSG Target Posts Impressive UCL Stat on Matchday 1 for Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Bayern Munich standout Jamal Musiala is drawing interest from other top European clubs. The 21-year-old’s contract with the Bavarian side expires in 2026 and on Tuesday, the youngster showed why he’s drawing so much interest.

CaughtOffside recently noted that Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of Musiala, with Manchester City, Real Madrid, and PSG also keeping a close eye on his situation. Reports also indicate Barcelona could be targeting Musiala for a potential 2025 signing.

Over the weekend, the Sunday Express reported that Musiala rejected Bayern Munich’s latest contract offer. He’s reportedly seeking wages of around £300,000 per week, which leaves his future at the club in doubt.

According to the Mirror, Bayern Munich are having trouble convincing Musiala to extend his contract, which could attract interest from Manchester City and Manchester United.
