Contract with FC Bayern until 2026, soon to be a national player!
Things could be worse for Jamal Musiala these days. The 17-year-old (turns 18 on Friday) is the shooting star of Munich, has overcome his form and training low, played big in the Champions League against Lazio Rome and a bright future ahead of him. It is only a matter of time before he will sign his first professional contract with the Sextuple winner.

Musiala’s path is remarkable and always closely linked to Thomas Müller.
Müller was a role model and competitor for Musiala
The original Bavarian is a regular player, title hamster, audience favorite and identification figure in one at FC Bayern. For Musiala he is a role model and at the same time the competitor who will continue to be ahead in Munich. Because Müller is indispensable in the offensive midfield under head coach Hansi Flick.

Against the Romans, Musiala benefited from two weak starting XI appearances by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and from the Corona-Aus von Müller, who after SPORT1-Information not until the week after next, in the top game against Borussia Dortmund, is again a squad and starting eleven candidate. On Thursday he trained again on Säbener Strasse for the first time.
After his strong Champions League appearance (one goal), Musiala should be in the starting line-up again on Saturday in the home game against Cologne (Bundesliga: FC Bayern – 1. FC Cologne from 3:30 p.m. in LIVETICKER) – and continue to learn from Müller.
Müller and Musiala can also play together
They have already proven in four games that they can play together, although they both prefer the same position. Because Musiala can also swirl over the wings. (The table of the Bundesliga)
The situation in the German national team is different. Musiala said on Wednesday that he would play for Germany in the future. However, he rejected the English association.
National coach Joachim Löw will nominate Musiala for the first time in March, provided his performance is correct and he is not injured. Then the DFB-Elf will contest the first international match course in the new year and meet Iceland, Romania and North Macedonia in the World Cup qualifiers.
How SPORT1 Already reported weeks ago, a return of the miller who had been retired by Löw in March is still not an issue. At the DFB, Löw is pushing the upheaval for which Musiala should stand. (Comment: Musiala biggest DFB success since Rio)
Musiala impressed by Löw-Plan
In any case, the national coach sees him the strongest in the Müller position. Also has to integrate Chelsea problem child Kai Havertz there. And Ilkay Gündogan has matured to world class in the ten position in the past few weeks at Manchester City.
Löw showed Musiala a clear plan in several discussions. Musiala was impressed. Not using it in the future would be implausible.
Does Musiala therefore prevent Müller’s participation in the European Championship?
One hundred percent, Löw has not ruled out a comeback of the 2014 world champion. Not even that of Mats Hummels or Jérôme Boateng.
Musiala should develop in the shadow of Müller
However: Your tournament return to the national team is after SPORT1-Information still no serious consideration from Löw. Only in absolute exceptional cases, in the event of failures due to injuries or corona, does Löw consider nominating one of the three veterans.

Musiala’s chances for an EM nomination are therefore, as of now, much higher than those for Müller.
At Bayern, Musiala should develop in the shadow of Müller. At the DFB, he should follow in Müller’s big footsteps in the long term, because hardly anyone has been able to adequately replace the original Bavarian since it was retired in early March 2019. Musiala will have the chance to do so – from March.
