Enzo Maresca has not been at his best for Chelsea in recent weeks, with his chances of winning the Premier League title faltering. The Blues sit fourth in the league table and are still aiming to qualify for the Champions League, although they are 10 points behind leaders Liverpool with one game remaining.
It is clear that the team needs further polishing, particularly in the background and creative departments, which the board is expected to prioritize in the summer. The Standard newspaper (quoting Football Insider) has claimed that Chelsea are “keen” to sign Bayern Munich prodigy Jamal Musiala in the summer.
Musiala’s contract with the Bundesliga giants expires in June 2026, and given that no renewal has been confirmed between the player and his club, many clubs would be interested in signing him for a relatively discounted transfer fee. I would consider signing a contract with. Chelsea will also look to take advantage of the situation by paying him far less than Transfermarkt’s valuation of £115m.
Musiala may be open to a move to Chelsea
Jamal Musiala spent eight years in Chelsea’s youth organization before heading to Bayern Munich, where he made his breakthrough into the first team. He has had a successful few years in Germany, even winning the Champions League, so a new challenge could be welcomed by the 21-year-old.
Chelsea have one of the best young teams in the world and could be a dominant force in the Premier League for the next decade or so. From Musiala’s point of view, it will be a chance to prove himself in the world’s best league and place his name on the individual awards podium alongside the likes of Jude Bellingham and Pedri, to whom he has been compared.
Musiala, who has lived in London in the past and knows Chelsea’s system, may prefer a move to Stamford Bridge over elsewhere. The Blues are also well-equipped to meet his salary demands, which will likely be high. It will be interesting to see if the club actually chooses to materialize their interest in an attacking midfielder this summer.
