Jamal Musiala has been linked with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, but former Chelsea central defender Antonio Rudiger wants his Germany international teammate to move to Real Madrid from Bayern Munich instead, as quoted in MundoDeportivo.

Musiala joined Bayern in 2019 after leaving Chelsea and has been linked with a move to Liverpool.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg reported in October 2022 that that Liverpool are interested in signing Musiala as a back-up if they are unable to bring in Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023.

Antonio Rudiger wants Liverpool target Jamal Musiala at Real Madrid

Rudiger said about Rudiger, as translated by Madrid Universal: “What he is doing at Bayern… He is an outstanding footballer and a very, very good guy.

“He has his feet on the ground despite all the noise around him and he has everything to hopefully play here some day.”

In our view, Jamal Musiala is one of the best young players in the world, and we are not surprised that Liverpool are reportedly interested in him.

The 19-year-old midfielder has already established himself as an important player for Bayern.

The £91,000-a-week (SalarySport) Germany international has made 12 starts and two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga so far this season.

Musiala has scored nine goals and given six assists in those matches.

The teenager has also given two assists in five UEFA Champions League games for the Bavarian giants so far this campaign.
