Tough times for Jurgen Klopp’s men: sign up for our Liverpool FC newsletter so you don’t miss the key stories
Much of Liverpool’s movement strategy in recent seasons has been to identify the world’s most productive players as they age, to bring world-class skill to Anfield before their reasonable rockets.
Liverpool have moved to the greatest adolescence of the past, with Harvey Elliott as a notable example. The 17-year-old lately is very impressive when he’s on loan at Blackburn in the Championship.
The Reds have also proven their worth by recruiting young players for the first team, making it an exciting destination for the world’s teenagers, who can see a forged path to the top.
Former Chelsea youth Jamal Musiala is one of the most productive organizations of young stars hailing from around the world right now, both clubs Manchester and Liverpool are watching closely.
Musiala, the youngest player to play and score in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich, has played 18 games in all competitions with Hansi Flick for the European champions this season.
He has already played in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid and a senior call-up to England cannot be far away.
17-year-old Jude Bellingham of the Bundesliga, who signed for Borussia Dortmund last summer, has already made his debut, and Musiala is on a path.
However, with a stagnation in their contract with Bayern, several major clubs in Europe would feel an opportunity.
Bellingham Dortmund were around 30 million pounds when they left Birmingham City.
But Musiala would be available for a fraction of that price, as she has only 18 months left in contract, with a contract stagnation most likely to force Bayern to sell this summer unless something can be agreed before that date.
Musiala’s existing contract at Bayern is a youth contract and he complies with the terms of a professional contract to suit his position in the existing team, as well as his skill and potential.
As for Liverpool’s interest: so far everything is fine.
All of this turns out to be an opportunity liverpool can be able to embark on: an incredibly talented player, which can be achieved for a reasonable price, and still alone at the beginning of their career.
But there is a major impediment to a transfer.
Musiala is asking for a salary of 100,000 euros consistent with the week, according to Goal, which obviously shows why Bayern have hesitated so much to submit an offer like that.
Musiala’s camp well believes his skill is worthy of this money.

The player has rejected one of Chelsea’s most lucrative scholarship contracts to move to Germany and continue its development, with Bayern having a bigger plan to promote him in the first team, so his top productive interests have been at the bottom.
The player has been very justified in relation to this transfer abroad, back to the country in which he was born, but is now looking to take the next step.
However, at this price, Musiala would enter the 10 most sensitive in terms of Liverpool’s income.
The Reds have been cautious about wage packages and especially young players, who are kept on lower wages to start in order to contain their thirst for improvement.
Therefore, movement links with Musiala may make sense in the field, with the announced wage diversity it would require, Liverpool will not be tempted.
