Jamal Musiala has extended his Bayern contract through to 30 June 2030. The 21-year-old Germany international joined the club from Chelsea’s academy in summer 2019. He first spent time at the FC Bayern Campus, where he made the step up to the first team and quickly established himself at the highest level.
Herbert Hainer, FC Bayern president: “What a great early 125th anniversary present for the club and the fans. People go to the stadium for players like Jamal Musiala. He’s a truly exceptional player. Sometimes you feel like the rules of gravity don’t apply to him. Credit to our sporting management and the board. Today is a very good day for FC Bayern.”
Jan-Christian Dreesen, FC Bayern CEO: “This contract extension is an important step for Jamal Musiala and for FC Bayern. Jamal has taken another big step forward this season, and we’re delighted that we’ll continue our journey together. Despite his young age, Jamal is already a figure of identification and embodies our ‘Mia san mia’ with his joy of the game, his team spirit and his connection to FC Bayern. What belongs together stays together.”
Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport: “Top clubs across the world look for players who can make the difference, and Jamal Musiala stands out there. He’s shaping the present at Bayern and will also shape the future, is the face of our new generation. In Jamal we’ve managed to convince one of the most coveted players in the world of our long-term plan at Bayern. Players like him allow us to send out a clear message to everyone that Bayern are to be reckoned with in the future as well.”
Christoph Freund, FC Bayern sporting director: “Jamal Musiala always creates genius solutions with his outstanding ability on the pitch. That’s his gift. Despite his young age, he already holds a lot of responsibility. You can sense that he quickly absorbed the Bayern philosophy at the FC Bayern Campus. We’re delighted to be taking on our lofty goals with him in the coming years.”
Jamal Musiala: “I’m really happy. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I took my first steps in professional football here and firmly believe we can achieve something big with this club in the coming years. I feel at home both in Munich and at the club with our great fans. We’ve got a lot of things we want to achieve. I’m excited for everything that’s to come.”
Both in Stuttgart, Musiala moved to England as a child and spent most of his youth in the Chelsea academy. After eight years there, he joined Bayern’s U17s before a rapid rise saw him make his senior debut in May 2020 and becoming Bayern’s youngest goalscorer in the Champions League at 17 years and 363 days. The forward has now made 193 competitive appearances for Bayern’s first team, scoring 58 goals and providing 31 assists. Musiala has won the Bundesliga four times, three German Supercups, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup during his time in Munich. He was also part of the reserves when they won the 3. Liga crown in 2020. In March 2021, Musiala became Germany’s fourth-youngest debutant and youngest since Uwe Seeler. He has since earned 38 senior caps, scoring seven goals and competing at Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024, where he finished as the competition’s joint-top scorer.
