However, Bayern remain resolute in retaining their prized asset.

Max Eberl, Bayern's eminent sporting board member, underscores Musiala's pivotal role in the club's future trajectory, alongside emerging talents Aleksandar Pavlovic and Mathys Tel.

While Tel and Pavlovic are burgeoning prospects, Musiala has already solidified his stature within the team, prompting discussions about his contract renewal. Eberl assures that these players will constitute Bayern's nucleus for the years ahead.

"They are the faces of the future," Eberl emphasized in an interview with Sport BILD. "Our history reflects our commitment to nurturing exceptional young talent like Jamal, Mathys, and Aleks Pavlovic."

"Mathys has already committed until 2029. Extending Jamal's contract is imperative; there's no alternative. Our support for young talents doesn't diminish the importance of experienced players; they play a vital role in nurturing the development of these prodigious talents."

This statement echoes a significant endorsement for the 21-year-old Musiala. However, it also raises eyebrows regarding the absence of discussions about 23-year-old left-back Alphonso Davies, who was in a similar position a year ago. Despite prior indications of Bayern's intent to extend Davies' contract, recent developments suggest a deviation from that course.

Nevertheless, Bayern's focus remains steadfast on securing Musiala's future, signalling a commitment to their youth-driven ethos and the strategic nurturing of burgeoning talents.
