Real Madrid are always on the hunt for the best players in the world, and if the opportunity for a price deal presents itself, the Blancos are even more interested. That could be the case for Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala.
The 21-year-old is out of contract in 2026, and Bayern will be desperate to make sure they lock him up before next summer, when they will face a choice between selling him at a cut-price, losing out to a free year down the line, or probably pushed into a corner on their salary demands.
That's where Bayern currently stand with Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies, with the latter thought to be going to Los Blancos next summer. However Christian Falk told Fabrizio Romano's Daily Briefing that if Real Madrid get that deal over the line, and Bayern also lose Kimmich, it could put them in a good position to sign Musiala.
The young German star wants what Jude Bellingham has in Real Madrid – a team that can win the Champions League every year. If Bayern lose more stars and don't strengthen enough, then Musiala will likely look for an exit, either in England where he grew up, or perhaps the Spanish capital.
In the past, it has been said that She had to and Bellingham's friendship could play a role in a future deal. Recent months have seen Real Madrid more closely linked with fellow German Florian Wirtz, who performs a similar function, but Bayern will also be one of their competitors for Wirtz.
