Bayern Munich not worried about Jamal Musiala’s contract
There is a fair amount to go in this season, but Bayern Munich might already have the biggest find of the campaign. Jamal Musiala has been the surprise package for Die Roten this season. Yes, he was highly rated at the club, but the seamless adaption and integration in the first team were a bit surprising.
Musiala is now consistently involved in the matchday squad. He is still 17, so there is no point in getting carried away. However, the initial signs are promising after some clever management of the player by Hansi Flick.
Bayern obviously wants to secure the future of Musiala. Previously, it has been reported that talks between both parties have taken place. However, the recent reports in England suggest that there is some sort of stalemate between player and club.
According to Goal, talks between Musiala and Bayern have reached a deadlock. The report insists that Musiala is looking for a deal worth £100k per week. The English media outlet also confirms that big English clubs are keenly following this situation. The reported wages are likely to be heavily incentivised rather than basic pay straightaway.

The perspective from Germany on this situation is slightly different. According to Sport1, there are no disagreements over the contract between Musiala and Bayern. The German Champions remains relaxed about the situation.
Musiala currently has 18 months left on his deal, so it is not the immediate area of concern. The German Champions have done a fine job over the past three seasons in securing the future of young players. Angelo Stiller is the only exception where the club couldn’t extend his contract, and they will be losing him to Hoffenheim for nothing in the summer.
The English midfielder has a bright future ahead of him, and Bayern has shown enough faith in him until now. His seamless integration shows that Musiala will continue to get opportunities to play at Bayern if he continues to improve. The environment at Bayern is also perfect for Musiala to continue his development as he trains along with world-class players under the supervision of the best coaches.

Musiala will be getting a lot of playing time in the second half of the season since Die Roten will be playing in the Club World Cup, and there will be two games every week. Until now, the youngster has got 459 minutes for the senior team with three goals. If he somehow manages to get around 1000 minutes, then it will be a successful season. Guarantee of playing time and silverware makes Bayern an enticing proposition, so the club shouldn’t be worried about Musiala’s future as of now.
