Bayern Munich finds itself in the midst of a crucial period when it comes to squad planning for the years to come. 

The team’s directors have been working hard to ensure that important players are locked down and that they are looking for new players who can replace aging veterans.

Probably the most important player to lock down at the moment is young star Jamal Musiala. 

The German forward is expected to be the face of the club for the next years, but his great talent already and his further potential have many European clubs behind him.

However, they all might miss on Bayern’s forward since a contract extension at Bayern is expected to be announced soon (most likely with the already controversial release clause). 

Now, reports have confirmed Bayern Munich could be close to announcing its star player’s contract extension really soon, choosing the club’s 125th anniversary on February 27 as a perfect occasion to deliver the news.

Bayern have earmarked February 27, the day of the club’s 125th anniversary, as of a potential date to announce Jamal Musiala’s contract extension. 

The negotiations are in the final stages, and both sides are working on the final details.

 The deal will include a release clause to give Musiala flexibility in his career plans and financial security for Bayern, and it will see the player move into the same salary range as Harry Kane.

After the contract extension of Alphonso Davies, the news of Jamal Musiala’s extension would surely be the perfect gift to fans on Bayern’s anniversary.

Following a hard-fought win during the week in the champion league, Bayern travel to face Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday in a mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash.
