Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing 22-year-old German international Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich.
According to a report by Bayern Space, Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in Jamal Musiala. The two Premier League heavyweights are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a versatile playmaker. So, the 22-year-old Bayern Munich sensation has emerged as a target for the London clubs.
The latest report has revealed that Musiala’s new contract had a release clause worth €175 million when he signed his deal. However, the valuation will drop to €150 million this summer, and it will become €135 million 12 months later. That 2027 summer transfer window may be the “realistic departure window” for the Stuttgart native if he leaves Bayern Munich.
The rise and rise of Jamal Musiala
Jamal Musiala has established himself as one of the world’s best players since breaking into the first-team squad at Bayern Munich several years ago. A journeyman in his youth career, the youngster passed through the academies at TSV Lehnerz, Southampton, and Chelsea, but finally settled down at the Bavarian club while choosing to represent Germany instead of England in international football.
The 22-year-old has been exceptional for his club and country, and he has a bright future despite a long-term leg injury. Musiala has made over 200 appearances for Bayern thus far while chipping in with 64 goals and 40 assists. Meanwhile, the German international’s progress has piqued the attention of high-profile clubs, with Arsenal and Chelsea among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
London return on the horizon?
Jamal Musiala has been on Arsenal’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, even though Mikel Arteta has a stacked offensive unit in his squad. A player of Musiala’s quality can be a game-changing addition to the Arsenal first team, and it is hardly surprising that the Bayern Munich prospect remains a target.
As for Chelsea, the German international spent several years in the West London club’s fabled academy, and they have hoped to re-sign him for a long time. The youngster can be a top-notch addition to the Chelsea squad, even though he prefers playing a similar role to Cole Palmer.
