Bayern is looking for the 'new' Musiala

The Bayern has focused on Rio Ngumoha, Antonio Nusa, and Oskar Pietuszewski to strengthen their attacking line with young talent, according to Sky Sports Germany. The search gains traction after Uli Hoeness expressed doubts about Jamal Musiala's ability to regain his best level, although the three names currently relate to future planning and not to finalized signings.

Bayern expands its list of young attackers

The name that stands out most in recent reports is that of Pietuszewski. The Polish winger, aged 18, plays for Porto and is one of Bayern's top targets to reinforce the left wing. According to the published information on the watchlist, the player has a release clause of 60 million euros and a contract until 2031.

Ngumoha, also 18 years old, is another option that the German club has been following for some time. The forward belongs to Liverpool, with a contract until 2028, and has reportedly already attracted Bavarian interest during the past summer transfer window. Recent reports suggest contacts between the player's camp and Bayern, while the English club works to extend his contract.

The operation would not be straightforward. Liverpool showed no willingness to negotiate his departure in the summer and aims to secure the winger's continuity with a new contract. Competition for his minutes and his progress at Anfield will be factors that may affect his future.

The third name is Nusa, a Norwegian winger aged 21 who plays for RB Leipzig. His performance in the Bundesliga makes him an experienced alternative in one of the major European leagues: this season he has tallied four goals and seven assists in nine matches, according to official competition data.

🇩🇪🗣️ Uli Hoeneß' statement on 𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗔 (𝟮𝟯): "We're in a dilemma with him. He has an illness that cannot simply be cured, but can be managed to some extent with medication. However, whether he will ever regain the level of performance he once had remains uncertain... He is still receiving his salary, of course. But just imagine if FC Bayern were now to question his contract and say: 'What he is capable of delivering now is no longer what was stipulated in the contract.'"

Uli Hoeness' doubts about Jamal Musiala change the scenario

The search for a new attacker coincides with Uli Hoeness' statements regarding Musiala's situation. The honorary president of Bayern acknowledged that the player suffers from a neurological condition that can be managed with medication but questioned whether he can return to the level he displayed before his physical and health issues.

Musiala, aged 23, has faced several setbacks since the serious injury he sustained during the 2025 Club World Cup. In August, he experienced two episodes of loss of consciousness during preseason and later suffered a hamstring injury. The club confirmed he has returned to team training, although he still needs to regain competitive rhythm.

Hoeness' words do not imply that Bayern has decided to part ways with their player. Musiala has a contract until 2030 and remains part of the club's sporting plans. However, the uncertainty about his development explains why the sports management is exploring alternatives to increase offensive resources.

Bayern will need to decide in the coming months whether to turn this monitoring into concrete actions. Pietuszewski, Ngumoha, and Nusa offer different profiles, and their respective contractual situations will determine the feasibility of each operation heading into the next transfer market.
