Jamal Musiala has rejected a contract extension offer from Bayern Munich and is eyeing a potential move to the Premier League in the summer, with Liverpool and Manchester City believed to be among the clubs expressing interest.

According to reports from the Daily Star, the top two teams in the Premier League are believed to be at the forefront of the race for Musiala’s signature, with both Liverpool and Manchester City having recently scouted the German international during his match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite Bayern Munich offering Musiala a new contract worth £150,000 per week, the 21-year-old has informed the Bundesliga club that he will not be accepting the deal, fueling speculation of his departure from the club in July.
