Bayern Munich eye new deal for Jamal Musiala

Bayern Munich youngster Jamal Musiala is undoubtedly one of football's most exciting talents, and his recent performances are only solidifying that reputation.

The young midfielder netted his first career hat-trick on Wednesday, guiding Bayern Munich to a 4-0 victory over Mainz in the DFB-Pokal.

At just 21, Musiala's extraordinary form has been remarkable, especially considering he recently returned from a hip injury that kept him sidelined during the international break.

Despite missing matches against Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart, Musiala boasts an impressive record this season: seven goals and two assists in eight matches across all competitions. Although he is yet to score in the Champions League, he has contributed with two assists.

His flair and creativity on the pitch are evident, highlighted by a stunning nutmeg against Bochum that set up Harry Kane for a goal.

With his contract running until June 2026, Bayern are eager to secure Musiala's future, knowing that a year from now, he could become a free agent.

The prospect of losing such a talented player to one of Europe's giants, like Real Madrid, is a risk they cannot afford.

"We are in talks and I'm happy here," Musiala stated following his hat-trick. Bayern envision him as their flagship player, a potential Ballon d'Or winner they wish to retain.

As discussions progress, Musiala will weigh his options, which could include lucrative offers from clubs in Spain or England. For now, Bayern are committed to ensuring their home-grown star continues to thrive in Munich.
