What’s a club in transition most in need of? How about locking down a generational superstar?
Bayern Munich is trying just that with attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala, who has lit up the field and garnered the adoration of fans ever since he broke into the first team over four seasons ago.
Now, Musiala is set to once again ponder his long-term future with the club, as other topics at his position as well as around it — from teammates Leroy Sané and Alphonso Davies on the wings and potential attacking midfielder transfer Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen — swirl around him.
But one guy in his — and Bayern’s corner — seems to be veteran Thomas Müller, whose position in Bayern’s forward line Musiala seems to have largely inherited.
It’s a passing of the torch Müller has more than graciously embraced.
“I think Jamal knows how important he is to the fans, how much people love him,” the 35-year-old Müller said in comments captured by SID Sportnews (via @iMiaSanMia). “Not just at Bayern, but in all of Germany. I think he would do well to think about it three, four, five times — that’s if he’s even thinking at all about not staying here.”
All indications lately are that Musiala is delighted in be in Munich. But will signing a new contract be forthcoming? We’ll all just have to wait and see.
