Jude Bellingham has already shattered the hopes of Liverpool fans by making a summer move to Real Madrid, and now the midfield sensation could deal another setback to the Reds.
Liverpool had vigorously pursued the 20-year-old, only to withdraw from the competition when it became clear that he preferred a switch to Spain. He subsequently signed with the La Liga giants in a deal potentially valued at approximately £118 million.
Up to this point, he has proven his worth, netting 11 goals in 12 matches, including his recent contribution to the Champions League victory over Braga on Tuesday. However, Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have since regrouped, performing impressively in domestic competitions and reportedly considering a move for Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala to compensate for the disappointment regarding Bellingham.
Musiala, aged 20, has already earned 24 senior caps for Germany and is a nominee for this year’s Golden Boy award, alongside talents like Bellingham and Rasmus Hojlund. He has already endeared himself to Bayern fans, with 16 goals in the previous season, and his pivotal late goal against Koln in May secured the Bundesliga title for his team.
His current contract in Germany is set to expire in June 2026. If an extension isn’t agreed upon by next summer, Bayern might feel compelled to sell while they can still command a substantial transfer fee. Sky Sports Germany now reports that Musiala’s friendship with Bellingham might entice Real Madrid into the race.
“Florentino Perez has the image of Musiala and Bellingham, the two friends from before who have always remained friends,” explained journalist Florian Plettenberg. “And Real Madrid is toying with the idea of uniting these two at some point.”
Bellingham’s persuasive abilities have been further bolstered by his current exceptional form. This is noteworthy, especially since Musiala had prior experience in English football during his youth stints with Southampton and Chelsea.
However, a figure who has graced both Anfield and the Bernabeu has offered his opinion. Steve McManaman believes that rumours linking Musiala with a departure are “far-fetched” and cannot envision the German champions allowing him to leave.
“I think he will always be linked with Liverpool because of Jurgen Klopp’s connection with the Bundesliga and Jamal’s English connection as well, “I would be astounded if he was allowed to leave, especially at this moment because he scored the goal to win them the Bundesliga title last season, he’s young and he offers something completely different to what Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka bring to this Bayern Munich side.”
