The Bundesliga has been known for producing some of the finest young talents in the soccer world. The German league has often seen young players rise to the occasion and make a name for themselves. One such talented player from Bayern Munich has been reportedly linked to Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old Jamal Musiala plays as an attacking midfielder for Bayern Munich. The Stuttgart-born player can also play as a left-winger if required by his team. The youngster joined the German club in July 2020. His current contract with the Bundesliga side runs until June 2026.
According to the reports, La Liga giants Real Madrid will look to sign Jamal if they fail to land Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) starlet Kylian Mbappe.

Many rumored reports have linked the player to a potential La Liga move.

Real Madrid’s recent statement on Kylian Mbappe
According to some rumors, some reports were published regarding negotiations between Real Madrid’s hierarchy and PSG forward Kylian Mbappe to join the La Liga club. However, as per the recent reports, the club’s management has held all the published reports regarding the matter as completely mendacious.
In a reported statement, the club’s hierarchy stated that, “this information (regarding negotiations) is completely false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player (Mbappe) who belongs to PSG”. It can be inferred that Los Blancos’ management has made their stance pretty clear about having no contact with the player till now.
