‘The link with Liverpool is clear’: Fabrizio Romano says Klopp may sign ‘one of the best talents in the world’

The football world has recently been buzzing with rumors of Bayern Munich’s young sensation, Jamal Musiala, potentially making a surprising move to Liverpool.

Initially, this seemed far-fetched given Musiala’s stellar performance at one of the world’s top clubs. However, there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Jurgen Klopp’s Interest

Fabrizio Romano, a renowned football journalist, has confirmed that Liverpool’s interest in Musiala is legitimate.

Also, Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, is a vocal admirer of the young talent and is well aware of his exceptional skills.

Fabrizio Romano Says…

Fabrizio Romano shared what he knows about the Bayern Munich star, speaking on his YouTube channel:

“What I wanted to say is that at the moment Jamal Musiala’s contract expires in 2026, and there is still no agreement with Bayern to extend the contract. Why?

Because the discussion was with the old management of Bayern, then the management changed and it’s still changing. This is why the timing of the extension changed.

🚨Manchester City and Liverpool could make a move for Bayern Munich's 20-year-old German player Jamal Musiala in January.

For Bayern, it is an absolute priority. They know that other clubs will be in the race, we’ve had reports of Liverpool, but trust me, it’s not just Liverpool, many important clubs around Europe are keeping eyes on Musiala. Clubs in Spain, in England, not just Liverpool.

The link with Liverpool is clear, they have Jurgen Klopp there who knows the talent of the player as a German manager very well, but people at Manchester City and Chelsea have been keeping an eye on Musiala as he’s one of the best talents in the world.”

Liverpool and Real Madrid in the Race for Musiala

Bild reports that both Liverpool and Real Madrid have expressed their interest in securing Musiala’s services.

The 20-year-old midfielder produced a remarkable 16 goals and 16 assists in the previous season.

He is reportedly growing discontent with his substitute role, possibly leading to an exit from Bayern Munich.

Contract Uncertainty

Despite Musiala’s contract with Bayern extending until 2026, his representatives have temporarily suspended contract negotiations.

This hesitation may be attributed to Bayern’s relatively poor form this season, as well as Musiala’s concerns about his spot in the starting XI.

Liverpool’s Secret Weapon: Ryan Gravenberch

To sweeten the deal, Liverpool are rumored to be considering the use of a secret weapon, Ryan Gravenberch.

Gravenberch, who played alongside Musiala at Bayern last season, recently joined Liverpool. This former connection could play a pivotal role in luring Musiala away from Bayern.

Musiala’s Remarkable Rise

Since making his senior debut for Bayern Munich in 2020, Jamal Musiala has solidified his position as one of the most promising young talents in Europe.

Further, with 32 goals and 25 assists in 133 appearances across all competitions, he has piqued the interest of top clubs across the continent.

However, the potential transfer of Jamal Musiala to Liverpool may appear surprising. But it is rooted in genuine interest from Jurgen Klopp and the player’s own desire for a more prominent role.
