Plan B for Real Madrid: Jamal Musiala Eyed if Kylian Mbappe Pursuit Fails

Real Madrid’s prolonged pursuit of Kylian Mbappe has been a well-documented saga, and with the French World Cup winner’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire next summer, the possibility of his arrival at Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent is increasingly likely. While Mbappe has not signaled an intent to extend his contract with PSG, it’s essential to recognize that past situations have left Real Madrid empty-handed.

Real Madrid appears to be well-prepared for the contingency, with an alternative plan in place in the event they cannot secure Mbappe’s signature once again. According to reports from Sport Bild, as relayed by ESPN, Real Madrid has set its sights on Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala if their pursuit of Mbappe falls through.

Jamal Musiala, one of the brightest young talents in world football, could potentially follow in the footsteps of his former England youth international teammate, Jude Bellingham, who successfully made the transition from the Bundesliga to La Liga.

Musiala faced a shaky start to the current season but has since found his form and demonstrated his effectiveness in the final third of the pitch. Remarkably, he remains just 20 years old, despite the sense that he has been a prominent figure in football for an extended period.

Acquiring a talent like Musiala would be a significant coup for Real Madrid, and his addition would bolster the club’s midfield and attack. Nevertheless, the primary focus remains on securing Kylian Mbappe, while simultaneously recognizing the unpredictability of the transfer market and the need to have contingency plans in place.
