Real Madrid will reportedly prioritise a move for Jamal Musiala if they are unable to secure the signing of long-term target Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n
Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for several years and could have the chance to make the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent next summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Los Blancos though have hit back at ‘completely false’ claims that they have held talks with Mbappe, in a statement published on Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
German publication BILD have now reported that the Bayern playmaker Musiala could be Real Madrid’s Plan B if they fail to land Mbappe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Musiala is still only 20-years-old, he has already made 138 appearances and netted 35 goals for Bayern Munich.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His performances led to him finishing second behind friend Jude Bellingham in the race for the Kopa Trophy, at the recent Ballon d’Or awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
German international Musiala played alongside Bellingham in England’s youth ranks at U15, U17 and U21 level, and could reunite if the Bayern star made the jump to the Santiago Bernabeu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BILD claim that Bayern would have to almost triple Musiala’s \u00a36.9m-a-year salary if they want to keep the highly-coveted youngster.<\/p>\n
Man City are also keen on Musiala, with Pep Guardiola to see him as the ‘legitimate successor’ to 32-year-old star Kevin De Bruyne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich’s chief executive, Jan-Christian Dreesen, recently said the Bundesliga giants would do well to keep their player ‘for as long as possible’.<\/p>\n
As per Sky Sports, he said: ‘Jamal is already a fantastic footballer.<\/p>\n
‘He has incredible qualities and so much potential to improve. We would do well to keep him for as long as possible.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A move to Real Madrid could see Musiala reunite with former England youth international team-mate Jude Bellingham (seen playing against each other in Der Klassicker last season)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola reportedly sees Musiala as a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne<\/p>\n
Musiala made his Bundesliga debut for Bayern Munich at the age of 17 years and 115 days against Freiburg in June 2020.<\/p>\n
He enjoyed his best season to date last term, scoring 16 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This campaign, he has netted four goals and registered three assists in 13 games across all competitions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
