According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool holds a high opinion of the 21-year-old and is keen on securing his services at the end of the season. However, they will face competition from Manchester City, as the German club has set an asking price of around £100 million for the attacker.
Musiala still has two years left on his current contract with the German club, and there’s no pressure on them to sell him this summer. Both Liverpool and Manchester City will need to meet the asking price if they hope to secure his services. Bayern Munich is also ready to extend his contract for the long term, but the youngster has rejected their proposals.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool can gather the funds for the 21-year-old in the summer. Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club, with Saudi Arabian clubs expressing interest in the Egyptian. If Liverpool manage to sell the 31-year-old in the summer, they might have the resources to sign Musiala. The German international has proven himself as one of the top young attackers in European football and could be a quality replacement for Salah, despite playing in a different role. Liverpool can’t expect to directly replace him and may need multiple players to compensate for his output.
Musiala would undoubtedly strengthen the Liverpool attack with his goals and assists. The 21-year-old is capable of playing as a winger as well as a central attacking midfielder. He has tallied 10 goals and six assists across all competitions this season. His stats are likely to improve when playing in a stronger team, and a move to the Premier League could offer an exciting opportunity for him.
