Barcelona hopes rise as key target demands extravagant contract terms from current squad

Barcelona have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala, as a new report from SPORT suggests there are ongoing issues in contract negotiations between the player and the German club.

While Bayern Munich have consistently expressed their desire to build their future around young talent, the situation has become more complicated.

Musiala’s contract with Bayern currently expires in 2026, meaning he will enter the final year of his contract this summer, putting additional pressure on a deal.

However, there has so far been no consensus on renewing the contract and both sides are at odds on key issues.

What is the problem?

The main points of contention are said to be Musiala’s salary, the length of the new contract and the possible inclusion of an exit clause.

Bayern Munich will hope the player makes some concessions and agrees a deal soon as reports suggest Musiala is open to renewing his contract.

However, the club is eager to reach an agreement before January 2025, as that will be when other clubs will be able to begin negotiating a pre-contractual agreement.

A key factor complicating the negotiations is Musiala’s desire to include an exit clause in his contract.

This move seems to indicate his intention to keep his options open, and big clubs such as Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Real Madrid have been linked to the young star.

Musial loves Barcelona

If Musiala does not accept a renewal or if Bayern agrees to his clause request, it could pave the way for one of these big teams to make a move.

In recent weeks, Barcelona has been especially active in expressing its interest in Musiala. Furthermore, even the player has spoken very highly of the Catalan club, sharing his admiration for them.

Interestingly, he has also praised Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal, further strengthening the ties between both parties.

With Barcelona eager to strengthen their squad, the situation surrounding Musiala’s contract could be a crucial moment for both the player and the club.
