Barcelona is reportedly showing strong interest in signing Jamal Musiala, the highly creative midfielder from Bayern Munich. The interest is fueled by Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who is eager to reunite with the young star. Flick, who played a key role in Musiala’s career by giving him his debut at Bayern Munich and later working with him as Germany’s national team coach, is reportedly determined to bring the talented player to Camp Nou.
Currently, Musiala is engaged in discussions with Bayern Munich regarding a new contract, which is expected to be finalized in the near future. However, there are rumors that the new deal might include a release clause. If such a clause is inserted, it could pave the way for Barcelona or other clubs to make a move for the player in the future.
Barcelona’s ambition to secure Musiala is not without challenges. The club is currently constrained by strict salary cap regulations, which require them to reduce their wage bill significantly before making any high-profile signings. To manage this, Barcelona is reportedly considering selling some of their key players, such as Frenkie de Jong, to create financial room for Musiala’s potential transfer and his expected high salary.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has also been linked with Musiala but appears to have accepted that signing him at a bargain price is unlikely, particularly given the progress in his contract talks with Bayern. Despite this, Barcelona might hold a slight advantage in any negotiations, as Musiala has expressed admiration for the club in the past and has idolized Lionel Messi. This connection could play a significant role in influencing his decision, should he consider leaving Bayern Munich.
