Attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala is set to sign a new five-year contract with Bayern Munich soon.

The 18-year-old native of Stuttgart, who at one time was brought up in the football academies of Southampton and Chelsea, decided to connect his future with Bayern, despite the interest from a number of clubs in the English Premier League.

According to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein, shortly before Bayern Munich agreed on the terms of a future adult contract with Musiala, at least one top English club contacted Munich, whose goal was to assess the likelihood of signing the young midfielder.

However, Musiala made the final decision to stay in Germany.. Moreover, despite the desire of England head coach Gareth Southgate to play a talented football player for his team, he made a choice in favor of the German national team..

This season, Jamal Musiala played 26 matches for the first team of Bayern in all tournaments in which he scored four goals.
