FC Barcelona continues working on the transfer market to strengthen its squad. In this case, Joan Laporta has dropped a bomb. The Barça president has set his sights on one of the most talented players in European soccer. This man could be a key piece in the future of the team.
This is the young Bayern Munich midfielder, whose future remains uncertain. Laporta sees an opportunity in this scenario and is willing to take advantage of it.
Bayern's Star Footballer
Jamal Musiala is considered by many to be one of the best young players in the world.
At 21, he stands out for his quality and versatility in the midfield, making him very attractive for any elite team. With Bayern Munich, he has been a key piece in coach Thomas Tuchel's scheme. However, despite his success in Germany, his future at the club is hanging in the air.
Musiala's Contract: A Mystery
A few weeks ago, Musiala surprised everyone with a statement saying he was "open to everything" regarding his future. This statement left the door open to a possible exit from Bayern, although he didn't commit to anything.
The attacking midfielder once again left his future hanging in the air when asked about his contract renewal with Bayern.
"I can't say much about the contract. My focus is on the German national team. I'm happy in Munich, that much I can say," he said, implying that he hasn't yet decided what he'll do with his career in the long term.
Pedri, Laporta's Great Ally
One of Laporta's biggest supporters in trying to sign Musiala could be Pedri González, one of Barça's brightest stars.
The Canary Islander has already shown his admiration for the German attacking midfielder on several occasions. It wouldn't be surprising if he tried to influence the decision of his possible teammate. Pedri and Musiala, together, could form one of the most promising midfield pairings in world soccer.
Bayern Doesn't Want to Lose Musiala
Of course, Bayern Munich will not sit back and do nothing. The German club knows that Musiala is one of its most valuable players and is not willing to let him go easily.
The Bavarian board has already started working on renewing the young attacking midfielder's contract. They plan to convince him that his future lies in Munich. However, the competition for his transfer could increase in the coming months, especially if the player still hasn't made a clear decision about his future.
