Arsenal join the race to sign ‘one of the world’s best players’ who is stalling on staying at Bayern Munich
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Arsenal welcomed four new faces to the club this summer, Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino both signed permanently along with loan deals for Raheem Sterling and Neto.
Edu was aiming to improve the squad depth available to Mikel Arteta at Arsenal across the season, w𒉰hich was previously deemed𝔉 insufficient.
Unfortunately, injuries to Calafiori and Merino have curtailed their benefit for now, but the du✱o should be immensely important across the long෴ campaign ahead.
That beiꦦng said, considering the players Arsenal also let go this summer, the club’s net spend appeared to be relatively minor, possibly paving the way for some big moves next summer.
And with that in mind, TBR Football understands that Arsenal have joined the race to sign Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich.
Arsenal keeping close tabs on Jamal Musiala’s contract situation at Bayern
Musiala, who once again impressed at the Euros for Germany, has less than two-years remaining on his Bayern contract, with the club now wor🍷king hard to tie him down to a new de♕al.
The 21-year-old has emerged as ‘one the world’s best players’ of late de꧒spite his young age, and Bayern understandably see t🐽he attacking midfielder as a crucial part of their project going forward.

Bayern wanღt to bring in Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz to play alongside Musiala in the future, a duo which is already working well for the nati🍸onal team.
How𒆙ever, to form that pairing, the Bavarian club need to keep Musiala and talks are ongoing over a new deal, but a breakthrough has not come des🦄pite talks commencing last year.
Bayern are aware that Musiala has been att𒀰racting interest from a nuꦓmber of clubs, with Manchester City and Liverpool being long-term admirers.
And now Musiala has emerged as someone of interest to Arsenal, who are watching the midfielde♓r’s situation closely.
Musiala could solve a number of problems at Arsenal
Of course, were Arse𓆉nal able to achieve a remarkable deal to bring Musiala to the Emirates, the G💙erman midfielder would improve Arteta’s starting XI significantly.
The former Chelsea youngster could play as Ar😼senal’s left side eight, in the number 10 role or on the left-♔wing – a very versatile addition.
It remains to be seen what kind of fee Bayern would demand for the 🤡youngster were he to end up l🀅eaving the club, but it could be of the Declan Rice echelon.
Either way, signing Musiala is🍌 the kind of opportunity that any elite club ♛can’t miss, a player who genuinely has Ballon d’Or type potential.
That being said, Arsenal are currently in contract talks with one of their own stars right now, who is attr💃acting interest from Paris Saint🌸-Germain.
