Jamal Musiala’s move to Bayern Munich from Chelsea FC was one of the best transfers the club has ever done. Completed for just a few hundred thousand euros, EA Sports’ new cover star now has a transfer value of €140 million. It certainly was beneficial for Bayern that Musiala made the move. But what was Musiala’s reason for leaving London?
The Stuttgart-born superstar sat down with The Athletic, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, and explained his motives for his move to Bayern:
“It wasn’t planned that we
would leave England to go back to Germany. I had just finished my school exams and I was enjoying being at Chelsea. But then Bayern came in and, again, it just felt right to try something new. I knew how big Bayern were and, in the end, I just thought, ‘Why not? Take the chance — go for it, and let’s see if it works out’. I never try to think too much about what could go wrong in these moments. I’d much rather trust myself and go with the flow.”
Musiala has been asked about this topic a lot. He has also mentioned that Brexit played a role in leaving Britain for Germany. In the end, however, it really does seem that Musiala’s ambition to try something new was one of the key reasons for the move.
