Liverpool are interested in Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, but a deal is unlikely to happen any time soon.
That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenburg, who says that Bayern aren’t interested in a sale and the player doesn’t want to leave regardless.
Musiala has been in fine form again this season, with five goals and three assists in seven games in the Bundesliga so far.
He 19-year-old is now firmly established among the most exciting talents in Europe, with a bright future predicted at club and international level.
The eyes of the Premier League are already on him, and Liverpool were linked with a move last year amid a contract stand-off with Bayern.
He eventually signed a new deal in June last year, but it seems Liverpool have not stopped watching him, with Plettenburg reporting that they remain ‘interested’.
He explains that like ‘any other top club in the world’, the Reds are watching Musiala but a transfer ‘is no topic’ at this stage.
That’s because the midfielder doesn’t want to leave Bayern and he is not for sale either, something director of football Hasan Salihamidzic has insisted upon publicly.
Thus, any talk of a move to Liverpool is wide of the mark, with neither the player or his club even contemplating a departure now or in the near future.
News #Musiala: Based on reports from UK: Yes, #LFC is interested in Musiala. Like any other top club in the world. But a transfer is no topic at this stage. He doesn’t want to leave Bayern and he is not for sale as mentioned by Salihamidzic at Sky. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
