Jamal Musiala Signs Contract Extension With Bayern Munich

Jamal Musiala has signed a new contract at Bayern Munich that is set to keep him at the Bundesliga club until June 2030.

Musiala, now 21 years old, has quickly become one of Bayern Munich and Germany’s most prominent stars after breaking into the first team at just 17.

The attacker left Chelsea’s academy to move to the Bundesliga giants in 2020. He played for both Germany and England at youth level but pledged his allegiance to Germany, where his mother is from, in 2021.

“I’m really happy. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I took my first steps in professional football here and firmly believe we can achieve something big with this club in the coming years.” Musiala said in a statement.

“I feel at home both in Munich and at the club with our great fans. We’ve got a lot of things we want to achieve. I’m excited for everything that’s to come.”

Musiala, who previously caught the attention of Manchester City, has netted 58 goals and provided 38 assists in 193 appearances for Bayern Munich. Last season, he finished as the team’s second top scorer with 13 goals, trailing only Harry Kane, who scored 44.

He has won four Bundesliga titles and five other major honors during his time in Bavaria.

“Top clubs across the world look for players who can make a difference, and Jamal Musiala stands out there,” Max Eberl, Bayern’s board member for sport, said.

“He’s shaping the present at Bayern and will also shape the future, is the face of our new generation. In Jamal, we’ve managed to convince one of the most coveted players in the world of our long-term plan at Bayern.

“Players like him allow us to send out a clear message to everyone that Bayern are to be reckoned with in the future as well.”

Musiala’s new deal represents the third high-profile player that Bayern have managed to convince to stay on at the club in recent weeks.

Canada international Alphonso Davies signed a new contract on February 4 that extends until the end of the 2029-30 season, effectively ending Real Madrid’s long-term interest in acquiring him.

Davies’ new contract came the day after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer signed a one-year extension which is set to ensure he remains at the club beyond his 40th birthday.
