Liverpool are keen on a potential deal for Jamal Musiala ‘especially due to his resale value’, with the belief he could be moved on for a huge fee in the future.
That’s according to SportBILD, who say the midfielder could be available from Bayern as he starts to get frustrated by a lack of playing time under Thomas Tuchel.
They explain that the international break has been like a cure for Musiala, as he was a key player under Julian Nagelsmann and shined because of it.
He doesn’t enjoy the same status at Bayern as he battles with Thomas Muller for a starting role, with the veteran winning out at the moment and Tuchel singing his praises.
Bayern want to extend Musiala’s contract regardless as it expires in 2026 and clubs are eyeing him up, namely Liverpool, who have long had the player ‘on the list’.
Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the player and ‘especially due to his resale value’ because of his age. The belief is that, even if they had to pay a big sum for the 20-year-old, they could still sell him on for a massive profit down the line.
Liverpool’s chances of potentially doing a deal have been handed a boost too as Bayern’s negotiations over a new deal have been suspended for the next few months.
That’s because Musiala and his team want to wait and see how Bayern develops and the role he will play. They had promised he would be one of the faces of the future of the club but that has not been the case use Tuchel so far.
He also wants to earn €8m a year and it remains to be seen if Bayern would offer that, despite their happiness to increase his wages significantly.
There’s no pressing issue at the moment as Musiala is too polite to complain publicly but the situation is ‘gnawing’ at him and that is opening the transfer door, with Liverpool on the other side.
