According to a German source who also disclosed the young player’s “dream” club, Arsenal is in negotiations to bring attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich to the Emirates Stadium.
Before moving to Bayern Munich in 2019, Musiala spent his early football years at the Chelsea youth academy. With 64 goals and 40 assists in 208 games, the 22-year-old offensive midfielder has shown to be a valuable member of the Bavarian powerhouse.
After sustaining a broken fibula and dislocated ankle at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in July 2025, the Germany international made his much-anticipated comeback this month. In February 2025, he signed a new deal with Bayern that would keep him with the German team until the summer of 2030. Bayern Space has stated that negotiations between the offensive midfielder’s camp and Arsenal are ongoing, despite the fact that Bayern has no desire to move Musiala.
Arsenal Talks Ongoing to Sign Musiala
One of the greatest players in the world, Musiala, just committed his long-term future to the Allianz Arena by signing a contract extension that would keep him in Munich until 2030. According to reports, that agreement has a release clause that decreases in value with each transfer window; it will be worth £127.5 million in the summer, down from the original £150 million.
With the clause predicted to be worth £115 million in the summer of 2027, £105 million in 2028, and £85 million in 2029, it is anticipated to decline even more in the next years. Arsenal is anticipated to be in the forefront of the competition to recruit him in what would probably be a club-record move if his departure from Bayern Munich happens more quickly than first anticipated.
There aren’t many players that can be considered among the finest in the world, but Musiala is without a doubt one of them. It’s reasonable to argue that he still has his finest years ahead of him at the age of 22.
