Jamal Musiala, despite being one of the standout performers for both Bayern Munich and the German national team, was notably absent from this year’s Ballon d’Or nominations. However, the young star is taking the setback in stride. “It doesn’t change anything about my mentality and my goals for this season. Thinking about it won’t help. I’m focused on my own development and will do everything to win here at DFB and also with Bayern” Musiala said.

Musiala’s impact on the pitch has been undeniable. In Germany’s recent 5:0 demolition of Hungary on Saturday, he scored a goal and provided three assists, showcasing his immense influence in the team’s attack. Today, the German national team faces the Netherlands in another UEFA Nations League meeting, and Musiala will be key to their efforts once again.
Bayern Munich’s president Herbert Hainer has made it clear that the club is determined to secure Musiala’s future at the Allianz Arena. With Musiala’s contract set to expire in June 2026, Hainer expressed his long-term vision for the 20-year-old talent, stating, “We want to try everything to keep him as long as possible. In my opinion, he could become the second Thomas Müller. He could stay here for the next 20 years.”
Germany’s national team coach Julian Nagelsmann even joked about a potential partnership between Musiala and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, saying, “I can imagine Wirtz and Musiala together in a club, but it will be very expensive! Who knows, maybe Jamal will go to Leverkusen too. Either way, it will be expensive to bring the two together at club level.”
