Musiala out of contract in 2026 Bayern trying to extend his stayGerman teases 'mystery' over his futureFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
The German international's contract at the Bundesliga giants runs until 2026 and despite trying to tie him down to a new deal, Bayern Munich director Max Eberl previously admitted it may be hard to achieve that goal. The 21-year-old does seem open to extending his stay with the German giants but the Manchester City-linked player has, arguably, given himself some wiggle room in the negotiating stakes.

When asked about extending his contract early, he told Sky Germany: "Yes, I can imagine it. There are already talks."
Musiala added that he is "happy" at Bayern and was enjoying his time there.
However, he added: "I can't say much now. It's better to remain a bit of a mystery," and that the process could "take a bit more time".
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The attacking midfielder has become a key player at Bayern, with the youngster scoring seven goals and bagging four assists in just 11 matches this season. The Bavarians want to make him the face of the club, therefore, tying him down to a new contract would be a big boost and make that vision possible.

Musiala, who returned from a hip problem this week and scored a hat-trick against Mainz in the DFB-Pokal, could feature for table-toppers Bayern in their next Bundesliga match on Saturday at home to Union Berlin.
