Hello Ed002
Hope this message finds the gentleman traveller and part time rodeo clown doing well :)
Would you mind sharing any insights on Jamal Musiala's possible availability this summer, given his current contract situation, and whether Liverpool has any interest.
He looks like a perfect FSG signing. Young but experienced and potentially world class. Flexible forward who can play across the frontline.
Appreciate he currently plays centrally but surely a has the tools to be a Salah replacement.
Always grateful for the information you share. Much thanks!
{Ed002's Note - Jamal Musiala (AM/LW) Bayern Munich will have no interest in selling the player back to Chelsea but the player is delaying a new contract and needs to reduce his demands. Real Madrid has a declared interest. Manchester City have asked Bayern Munich for talks over the player as a de Bruyne replacement, but they will resist.}

Ex-Chelsea?
Get him in FSG.

Musiala is another to add to the list of players who won’t be playing for us.
18 Feb 2024 09:53:00
Why victor? And just curious could you ever see him playing for say. a chelsea or an Arsenal?
18 Feb 2024 10:14:43
If he doesn’t want to come to Liverpool, fair enough. Why would you want to keep a list? Definitely falls into the ‘life’s too short’ category.
18 Feb 2024 10:23:56
Im curious as to his reasoning west is that ok? I ask because people always say x or y player wouldn't come here yet then ratrle off these kinds of clubs as likely destinations. Always amazes me.

Here’s a non exhaustive list of players some on here pined for and were convinced we could sign and were signing that didn’t end up coming here and will never play for us.
Kai Havertz
Timo Werner
Jadon Sancho
Christopher Nkunku
Jude Bellingham
Kylian Mbappe (soon to Madrid)
Just add Musiala to that list as we wouldn’t spend the kind of money Bayern would want. Whereas City, United and Chelsea would, we’ve been here before. He probably wouldn’t and up at Arsenal either because of their wage structure. I think we can confidently predict that Musiala will never play in a Liverpool shirt, the same way it was obvious that Bellingham wouldn’t and never will either. To think otherwise is bring delusional.

@Viktor
Your logic on finances alone is flawed.
Liverpool had a bid of ~100m accepted for Moises Caicedo accepted and pay Mo Salah in excess of 300k per week. So FSG will pay the money if they see value. But of course there are limits, FFP.
Whether Jamal Musiala would want to join Liverpool is another question. For sure he would have plenty of options.
Nevertheless the future is bright. Top players will sign!

I agree with Viktor, although the top 4 players I’m ecstatic we didn’t get them. Musiala is one of those players that is beyond the clubs reach, like Bellingham.
18 Feb 2024 17:41:06
Jaynwa, we may pay Salah £300k+ pw but there’s no way we’d pay that kind of wage straight away to a new player. I’d say Musiala has career plans that don’t involve us, like Bellingham et al. There are some players that are beyond our reach.
