Musiala Watch: Barca Universal Tracks Bayern Starlet

Fabrizio Romano reported this week that Jamal Musiala is a player Real Madrid really likes. The Whites could push for the young German midfielder as a replacement for Luka Modric, who is expected to leave next summer. But Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Musiala’s situation, per Catalan source Diario Sport. Barca president Joan Laporta is said to be a huge admirer of Musiala and could push for his signature in 2025. Musiala has an asking price of 130 million euros but that price could drastically reduce in a year with his contract set to expire in 2026.Musiala Watch: Barca Universal Tracks Bayern Starlet

Barcelona are still in pursuit of their return to the 1:1 transfer rule and are a few sponsorships and sales away from achieving the position of stability.The club’s struggles to sign players and register them for the squad should reduce come next summer and Joan Laporta and co. will look to maximise on the same.After failing to secure most of their transfer targets this time around, the next window will be crucial for the administration to retain the faith. Laporta, thus, has a bomb signing planned as revealed by Fichajes.

As relayed by the outlet, Barcelona have their eyes on Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala as the big-bomb signing for next summer.

The 21-year-old has stood out as not only the Bavarians’ but also the German national team’s best player in recent times and is widely considered to be one of the most talented wingers in world football.

With his contract with Bayern Munich running out in 2026, clubs from across Europe have begun maintaining tabs on his situation and Barcelona are part of the bandwagon.

Given that he will have only one year left on his contract next summer, they hope to sign him for a reasonable fee.

The Catalans are looking for offensive solutions that fit the long-term project. As a player who excels on the left wing, is highly versatile and understands positioning and imbalances, Musiala would be the perfect fit for the team’s void.

Barcelona, however, are not the only club interested in the youngster’s signing with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal all in the race as well. Needless to say, the bidding war will be fierce should it begin and Barcelona must prepare significant financial muscle.

Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Bayern Munich to see if they can reach an agreement over a contract renewal.
