Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala but face competition with the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid for him.

Musiala has less than two years left on his current contract and the article suggests that Bayern are finding it tough to tie down a new deal with club director Max Erbel admitting it’s “difficult but not impossible”.

The German international had a fantastic European Championship campaign, scoring three goals and most recently in the UEFA Nations League, he notched up a goal and three assists in two games.

Musiala has also started the domestic season well with two goals and two assists across all competitions for Munich. He is valued at around £110m.

However, Bayern have already valued their starlet if he is to leave, and whoever manages to secure his services will have to pay a huge fee.

DUTCH LEGEND OFFERS VAN DIJK FUTURE PREDICTION

Van Dijk

Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk has been a fantastic servant to the club since he joined in 2018, but his time in Merseyside could soon be coming to an end.

The 33-year-old has less than a year remaining on his current deal and if no agreement is reached over an extension, could leave Merseyside for free at the end of this season.

Although Liverpool are reportedly keen to kick-off negotiations over a new deal, there is no guarantee that the two parties will be able to come to an agreement and this could be Virgil’s last season at Anfield.

With the defender's future up in the air, all-time Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf has had his say on what he believes the future holds for Van Dijk.
