Jamal Musiala is predicted a golden future at Bayern.

However, the youngster would not say no to a special offer.

Munich – FC Bayern* has been badly shaken in terms of personnel in recent weeks.

The corona virus was rampant on Säbener Straße - sometimes up to nine stars were in quarantine!

One who was spared was Jamal Musiala.

The youngster took advantage of the moment and delivered strong performances in an unfamiliar position.

Julian Nagelsmann brought Musiala on the six!

The 18-year-old is actually too skinny for that, isn't he?!

"I'll probably never look like Leon Goretzka, but that's not my goal at all because it would hinder my game," Musiala reveals in an interview with

.

He works a lot on his "soccer-specific athletics" and is "good at stealing balls and has a clever duel," says Musiala about himself: "Size and strength aren't everything, I'm flexible and agile." But in the long run he sees himself Probably not in the defensive midfield center - but in which position then?

FC Bayern: future of Jamal Musiala - special offer?

"Wouldn't Say No"

"Yes, I often played the nine when I was a youth at Chelsea," reveals Musiala: "It's cool to play up front." Would he like to play there for Bayern?

Perhaps as a successor to Robert Lewandowski?

"If I was offered the role in the future, I wouldn't say no.

I love scoring goals.” Also in the DFB team?

"I don't think it's Hansi Flick's plan that I'll be a nine," said the youngster.

At the record champions, Musiala is probably intended to be Thomas Müller's heir at some point.

Even if those footsteps will be huge.

He definitely doesn't trust himself to do one thing.

"I don't think anyone else in professional football can talk as much as Thomas," he explains with a laugh, before starting with hymns of praise: "I've never played with someone like him.

Thomas is an outstanding footballer and a guy that doesn't exist a second time.

But he actually helps us team-mates a lot on the field.”

And Musiala goes on to say: “As far as his legacy is concerned: Thomas, like Manu

, will certainly play for many years to come.

After that, his style and his role will be irreplaceable.

If I'm then allowed to play in his position, I'll bring in a new style of my own." At the moment, however, the teenager is something of an all-purpose weapon at Bayern, having already played in various positions.

Musiala has played 26 games in all competitions under Nagelsmann this season.

He has six goals and five assists.

The youngster's contract at Säbener Straße runs until 2026, so there's still plenty of time to try out a few more positions.
