Chelsea have been one of the highest-spending clubs across Europe over the past two seasons. They are again ready to break the bank to sign Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala in the summer, as per a report published in Sport Bild.
The Blues have joined the race, which includes the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United and many others. All the major clubs are highly interested in acquiring the services of the German attacker.
Jamal Musiala needs no introduction
Jamal Musiala rose through the ranks of Chelsea before joining Bayern Munich in 2019 in search of game time. His career took a new shape after joining the German side as he went on to play for their senior side. All these years, he has taken huge leaps in his professional career.
Musiala is regarded as one of the most premium midfielders in football today. He has already proved himself against the top-quality sides across the globe. There is no doubt over his quality and skills. Hence, all major clubs are running behind his signature.
The 21-year-old has been in terrific form this season, having scored 12 goals in 31 games. He also has seven assists to his name in those many games. He does all the creative work in the final third and also tracks back to perform the defensive duties.
Will Chelsea get their hands on Jamal Musiala?
Chelsea aren’t having a good campaign, and they strongly need to bolster their unit for next season. The pursuit of Jamal Musiala can add a lot of value to their squad. The player has been at Chelsea earlier, meaning he would require the least time to adapt at the Stamford Bridge.
The German midfielder’s contract runs out in 2026, and he has already turned down a new contract proposal. Reportedly, he wants to switch to another club to lift his career. Musiala won’t mind coming to his previous home.
However, the Blues will not have a Champions League berth, which makes their case a bit less attractive. Also, they will have to pay a hefty amount to win the stiff race.
