“There was a first exchange about a contract extension with Joshua. It was a very good and positive conversation. We will have further discussions. I think the general perception in Germany does not really do him justice. Joshua has been an important player for FC Bayern for many years and should continue to be so in the future.” These were the words of Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl at the start of the season.
It must be said that in recent months, there has clearly been talk of the German player leaving. PSG, but especially FC Barcelona, were very interested in his services. With a lease expiring in 2025, it was an attractive market opportunity for many clubs. And if we use the past tense, it is because the latest information and statements from the parties concerned clearly point in the direction of an extension.
Extension in sight
“Musiala should become one of the faces of Bayern’s future project, like Kimmich, Pavlović and Stanišić. We want to win the Champions League and domestic titles”Max Eberl confirmed to Sky Sport Germany. But the player also spoke. “I am available to negotiate with the club. It is always good to hear the support of the club. I am enjoying the moment. It is important to win the matches”thus confirmed the Germanic mid-lateral.
Enough to put an end to speculations regarding the future of the 29-year-old player. As revealed exclusively by us at the end of July, PSG had already discussed with the Bavarian club and with the player’s entourage, without follow-up, in particular because the player wanted to stay at least one more season in Bavaria. And it looks like the opportunity will not come again…
