Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala has been urged to ignore growing interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, who should not be allowed to sign him ‘under any circumstances’.
That’s according to SportBILD journalist Raimund Hinko, who believes the midfielder cannot be allowed to leave Bayern at any point.
He writes a column to the player today amid growing reports that he could leave the Allianz Arena in the near future.
Reports in Germany have indicated that Musiala could be set to consider his future at Bayern as he is yet to play a starring role under Thomas Tuchel and wants assurances about his future sporting prospects.
Those reports have also indicated that there is no lack of interest in him, with Liverpool and Manchester City both thought to be big admirers.
It was initially Liverpool who were believed to be most keen but their interest reportedly sparked Manchester City into action, with Pep Guardiola believed to see Musiala as the ideal long-term replacement for Kevin de Bruyne.
Hinko, though, says that cannot be allowed to happen under any circumstances and urged the player to consider his future carefully.
“I am writing to you, dear Jamal, because of the current situation,” he said.
“Out of deep concern that you will be lost to Bayern because they would apparently give the shirt off their back to Real Madrid, Liverpool FC or Manchester City in order to lure you away from Munich. That must not happen under any circumstances.
“At first I assessed the latest news as a storm in a teacup. Because there are always journalists around the world who hear the grass grow.
“But now it went a bit too far for me when Didi Hamann dared to predict as a Sky pundit that you, dear Jamal, will leave Bayern. That they will let you go because there is a big market for you.
“You, dear Jamal, now have a market value of 110 million euros, with an upward limit. There would be good business to be had there. But you would, to use Manuel Neuer’s vocabulary, rip Bayern’s hearts out.
“There would be nothing wrong with Bayern buying Florian Wirtz. If you both played next to each other like you did recently in the national team. But the fans will be most happy if your contract is extended beyond 2026, ideally until 2030. To be honest, and hereby written: Me too.”
