Liverpool could reportedly have to pay as much as €100m (£87m) in 2024 if they want to sign Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the German giants are under no pressure to sell the 20-year-old superstar, though interest has mounted for Musiala in recent days.

As per the report, Liverpool are in the race to sign Musiala, with Manchester City and Real Madrid also in contention for the youngster’s signature.

Lauded by Michael Owen as an ‘exceptional’ talent, Musiala is on his way to becoming one of the best players in world football, and Liverpool will need to splash the cash if they’re to sign the youngster.

Jacobs said: “Bayern have no obligation or urgency to sell. They don’t have to worry about it. Next year, what I think they’ll do instead is try to focus on seeing how they can extend that deal.

“But if somebody is to succeed in 2024, I think they’re going to have to put down well in excess of €85m or €90m, maybe even more than €100m, so £87m plus.”

Liverpool have to break the bank for Musiala in 2024

Musiala looks set to become the Premier League’s next superstar signing, and for Liverpool, they have to consider breaking the bank for the Bayern youngster.

A versatile attacking midfielder who can flourish under Jurgen Klopp, Musiala at Liverpool could be a match made in heaven for the Reds.

And with Mohamed Salah expected to leave in 2024, Liverpool could consider Musiala as the dream replacement for the Egyptian international.
