Liverpool sent Jamal Musiala message after 'private' transfer talks with Man Utd

Bayern Munich president Herbert Haine, has expressed his confidence that Jamal Musiala could be at the club "for the next 20 years", despite interest from both Manchester clubs and Liverpool .

The German playmaker has been a shining star at the Allianz Arena and is now one of Bavaria's brightest talents, impressing both for his club and on the international stage. His standout performance at the Euros saw him share the Golden Boot award.

Bayern have increasingly come to rely on Musiala's quality. The player, who was previously eligible to play for England, has netted 28 times over the past two seasons, attracting attention from several rival clubs.

Despite his contract entering its final two years, the Bundesliga club's hierarchy are confident he will stay.

This comes in spite of interest from Manchester City, managed by ex-Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, and Manchester United, who have twice negotiated with the German team to secure two of their players last summer. There were also links over a sensational move to Anfield.

However, Hainer is not worried about losing Musiala. He stated: "Many say that he will one day be the best player in the world. In that regard, we will do everything we can to secure him with FC Bayern long-term. In my opinion, he could easily become the next Thomas Muller and play here for the next 20 years. I'm very optimistic that we'll see him at Bayern for a long time to come."

Musiala, plucked from Chelseas academy, has blossomed into one of Europe's hottest talents thanks to the clear path to stardom Bayern promised him. Manchester United's recent acquisition Joshua Zirkzee attempted to entice Musiala to Old Trafforda jest revealed by Zirkzee with a grin: "I've tried. I've tried! ".

Musiala responded lightheartedly about these comments to Welt am Sonntag: "You always joke around with friends and dream of playing together in a team one day."

He later reaffirmed his contentment at Bayern to a German newspaper, saying: "I'm very happy at FC Bayern and fully focused on our goals. Playing abroad like Bellingham? I'm not thinking about where I will be in five years. Things can always change quickly in the world of football."
