Klopp gives Guardiola worst news of the year after he wins The Best

Guardiola has just won The Best, but Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will give him the worst news of the year and that is that he will fight for the star's signature. Uncertainty surrounds young talent Jamal Musiala as Bayern Munich are yet to agree a new contract. At just 20 years old, Musiala is the subject of interest from big Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. The attacking midfielder, who can also play as a left winger, burst onto the European football scene in 2020 by becoming the Bundesliga's youngest debutant.

With 144 appearances in all competitions, 38 goals and 26 assists, his meteoric rise has caught the eye of English clubs. Despite ongoing negotiations, Bayern have been unable to conclude a new deal for the German international, whose current contract expires in 2026. Musiala, aware of his worth, is looking for a salary that reflects his talent, and speculation about a possible move to the Premier League is intensifying.

Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that there has been no progress in contract talks. Although Bayern are keen to retain Musiala long-term, the lack of progress has opened the door to Premier League clubs who could take advantage of the situation. Despite his undeniable talent, Musiala has experienced a decline in playing time this season, which has added to the youngster's frustration. With English clubs ready to test Bayern's resolve with tempting offers, Musiala's future could be defined in the coming months, although a full deal may not be finalised until the summer.

With the January transfer window in full swing, the focus is on the resolution of Musiala's contract negotiations and the possible outcome of this exciting transfer saga.
