Musiala unhappy with ONE Bayern Munich teammate who has just agreed personal terms to join Man United this summer
Jamal Musiala has expressed deep frustration over the unexpected decision of one of his Bayern Munich teammates to leave for Liverpool, calling the situation “really unfair.” The news has sent shockwaves through the Bayern dressing room, with players and staff reportedly feeling betrayed by the sudden nature of the transfer.
The player, though not officially confirmed by the club, is widely believed to be Ryan Gravenberch. Having joined Bayern from Ajax just last summer, the 22-year-old Dutch midfielder was seen as a key part of the club’s long-term plans. His partnership with the likes of Musiala, Kimmich, and Goretzka was supposed to form the spine of Bayern’s next great team. Now, after barely a season, he is set to depart, leaving many of his teammates stunned.
Musiala didn’t hold back in his reaction, telling German media that the team is deeply disappointed. He suggested that FIFA should take a closer look at transfers of this nature, arguing that such quick exits disrupt team chemistry and long-term planning. According to Musiala, even head coach Thomas Tuchel has been let down, having counted on Gravenberch for the upcoming campaign.
Liverpool, under new boss Arne Slot, appear to have moved swiftly behind the scenes. With their midfield undergoing major changes following the exits of players like Fabinho and Thiago, Slot has targeted young, dynamic midfielders to rebuild the core of the team. Gravenberch’s skillset—combining power, progression, and ball-carrying ability—fits the profile perfectly. Reports indicate that a deal worth around £42 million is close to being finalized, with personal terms already agreed.
Tuchel, meanwhile, now faces the challenge of filling a crucial gap in his squad just as pre-season begins. This was not part of the plan, especially after Bayern invested time and trust in the Dutch midfielder. Tuchel had expected Gravenberch to be central to the team’s development, and his departure comes as a blow to both tactics and morale.
Behind closed doors, it’s clear that Musiala isn’t alone in his frustration. Other senior players reportedly feel let down, believing the midfielder didn’t give the club enough time. Still, there’s an understanding among some that the Premier League—and the chance to work under a new manager—can be difficult to resist.
One Bayern staff member, speaking anonymously, summed it up: “We gave him everything. Now he’s walking away just like that. It’s hard not to feel betrayed.”
Musiala’s call for FIFA to intervene in situations like this has sparked debate. While many sympathize with his emotional response, others argue that players must have the freedom to choose what’s best for their careers. Contracts and transfer laws currently give them that right.
Although neither club has officially confirmed the move, several reliable sources suggest it’s only a matter of time before Gravenberch is unveiled as a Liverpool player. For Bayern, the focus now shifts to finding a suitable replacement, with names like Martin Zubimendi, Manu Koné, and Amadou Onana already being mentioned.
Among fans, reactions are mixed. Some support Musiala’s outcry and the emotional bond he clearly shares with the club, while others accept that football is a business and players will always chase opportunities that align with their ambitions.
Regardless of how one views the transfer, this saga has clearly left a lasting impact at Bayern—highlighting not only the emotional weight of unexpected exits but also the shifting values in modern football, where loyalty is often fleeting and futures can change in a heartbeat.
