Bayern Munich’s big news is that contract talks are progressing well for stars Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich.

One of the biggest stories from Bayern Munich is that contract negotiations are progressing well for stars Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich, despite growing interest from clubs across Europe.

This news comes at the perfect time for loyal Bayern fans, who can buy tickets with confidence knowing their star players are set to stay.

As Bayern focuses on securing contracts, particularly for Jamal Musiala, the official stance is that no contract will be finalized until December.

Asked after the 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund about a potential contract extension for the former Southampton youth player before Christmas, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said.

“We’re talking very intensively, well, a lot,” Eberl clarified. “I would like to put it under everyone’s Christmas tree, but I can’t promise that today.

However, for Bayern Munich ticket holders, this offers some consolation. Back in September, Musiala was a key target for several English clubs, including Manchester City and Liverpool.

The youngster has always shown grit and determination, and his style of play matches many other styles But, for now, Musiala is here to stay.

Kane Out for the Year

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany stated that he hopes injured star striker Harry Kane will return to the pitch before the end of the year.

“There’s a chance he’ll play again this year,” Kompany said at a press conference ahead of Bayern’s German Cup last-16 clash against defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.

The 31-year-old forward suffered a hamstring tear during Saturday’s 1-1 Bundesliga draw at Borussia Dortmund and will miss “a few games,” according to Kompany.

Bayern, the Bundesliga leaders, have five games remaining before the end-of-year break, including a Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

England captain Harry Kane has been a key player for Bayern, scoring 20 goals in all competitions since the start of the season. His 50th overall goal for the club came in style, against FC Augsburg, where he went on to score a hat-trick in the match.

“You can’t replace him one-to-one. He’s a top player. But we’ll solve things differently. There will be no lack of talent tomorrow,” said Kompany.

“We have several options — Thomas Müller, Mathys Tel, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, Leroy Sané. Maybe not Kingsley Coman in that position.”

“Harry has scored 20 goals. You can’t replace that. But we have players who score goals, including Jamal (Musiala). We’ll have a solution. We have enough players who can fulfill the role, even if you can’t replace his goals one-to-one,” said Kompany.

Gnabry remains doubtful for Tuesday’s Cup match after missing the Dortmund game due to knee issues. However, midfielder Joao Palhinha returned to training on Monday following a muscle tear he suffered during international duty with Portugal last month.

The Future of Alphonso Davies

In the lead-up to the Bundesliga kick-off, Bayern’s Alphonso Davies was the hot topic across football platforms—he wanted to leave Bayern Munich. Fans who had bought tickets were taken aback by the unfolding events, as the situation was not looking favorable for Bayern.

After contract negotiations didn’t go his way, Alphonso Davies wanted to leave Bayern Munich for a better paycheck.

However, it now looks like Davies could stay at Bayern, as the Canadian has reportedly lowered his financial demands, and his contract renewal is back on track.

The Battle of Davies

Alphonso Davies has become the focal point of the latest ‘battle’ between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Canadian’s contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, and in addition to the two Spanish giants, several of Europe’s top clubs have shown interest in his situation, with the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer.

The left-back appeared determined to leave the Allianz Arena as a free agent next summer, but the situation has recently shifted. Davies was involved in an off-field incident when he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol, registering 0.6 grams per litre of exhaled air, which is above the legal limit.

Despite the incident, Bayern’s coach, Vincent Kompany, chose to move forward and gave Davies a starting role in the Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund. This decision appears to have influenced Davies’ stance, with German media outlet Sport1 reporting that his attitude has shifted to one of regret and cooperation with Bayern. As a result, he has lowered his salary demands, and his contract renewal is now on track.

Bayern want to resolve Davies’ future in December

The relationship between Davies’ agent, Nick Huoseh, and Bayern Munich has improved, bringing the player closer to extending his stay in Bavaria beyond 2025. However, the recent legal incident involving the full-back has raised concerns among the club’s directors about his future, meaning all options remain on the table.

Bayern Munich aims to resolve Davies’ situation before the end of the year, with both Barça and Madrid closely monitoring the matter. In fact, Barcelona’s sporting management has already made initial contact with his representatives and is aware of the player’s demands, which include a signing bonus of around 15 million euros and a salary of approximately 10 million euros net per season.

No decision has been made yet, and both Barcelona and Real Madrid, along with clubs like Manchester United, are still considering the possibility of signing Davies as a free agent. However, the situation could be resolved in the coming weeks.

Bayern Munich ticket holders also understand that Davies’ decision is based on his relationship with the club and his career progression. He’s been a brilliant player on the field, and with Davies reassuring fans that he is here to stay, it brings some joy knowing he will remain at the club.

Manager Vincent Kompany deserves credit for his decision to give Davies a chance, allowing him to understand what he was missing and ultimately helping him regain his confidence.

Right now, Bayern couldn’t have asked for a better situation.

Fans can now purchase tickets for the remaining Bayern Munich games, starting in January.
