Bayern Munich star wanted by Premier League club’s set to snub new deal

Jamal Musiala has declined a contract extension offer from Bayern Munich as he aims for a transfer to the Premier League during the summer.

Manchester City and Liverpool, as reported by Daily Star Sport last month, are leading contenders for Musiala’s signature. Both clubs have conducted recent scouting missions to observe the German international in action against Bayer Leverkusen.

At that point, Bayern’s offer of a £150,000-a-week new contract for midfielder Musiala was still available. However, it is now understood that he has informed the Bundesliga giants of his decision not to sign it, leading to speculation that he will depart the club in July.

City were informed of that choice last week and are growing more assured of prevailing in the competition for the highly sought-after Musiala, who recently turned 21. However, Liverpool isn’t the sole English team challenging Pep Guardiola’s efforts to secure the playmaker’s services.
