“This Is Really Unfair” – Jamal Musiala Slams Bayern Teammate’s Shock Liverpool Transfer
In a transfer twist that has stunned Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala has broken his silence over a teammate’s sudden move to Liverpool FC, expressing deep frustration and disappointment. The Bayern Munich dressing room is reportedly in turmoil following the unexpected decision—just one season after the player joined the Bundesliga giants.
🔴 Bayern Star Set to Join Liverpool – Dressing Room in Disbelief
According to multiple reports, the player involved is Ryan Gravenberch, who joined Bayern from Ajax in the summer of 2024. Despite being seen as a key figure in Bayern's midfield rebuild, Gravenberch is now on the verge of a transfer to Premier League giants Liverpool, catching fans, teammates, and even head coach Thomas Tuchel by surprise.
Gravenberch has reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool, and a £42 million deal is close to completion. The swiftness of the negotiations and the timing—just ahead of Bayern’s pre-season—have left many at the club feeling betrayed.
🗣️ Musiala: “It Feels Like Betrayal”
Speaking to Kicker, Bayern star Jamal Musiala didn’t hold back:
“Everyone in the dressing room is really upset about this move. Even the coach is disappointed. He joined us just last season—and now he’s leaving for Liverpool. This is really unfair. Honestly, I think FIFA should review how transfers like this happen so easily.”
Musiala’s comments reflect growing concerns within European football over player loyalty and the increasing trend of using top clubs as stepping stones.
⚽ Why Liverpool Want Gravenberch
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool are actively rebuilding their midfield following the departures of Fabinho and Thiago. Gravenberch, 22, fits Liverpool’s needs perfectly: a dynamic, box-to-box midfielder with technical flair, physicality, and European experience.
Slot reportedly views Gravenberch as a crucial part of his tactical vision—a midfielder who can thrive in both high-intensity pressing systems and possession-based setups.
😡 Tuchel and Bayern Left Reeling
Sources close to Thomas Tuchel say the Bayern manager is frustrated and disappointed. Gravenberch was expected to be a core figure in Bayern’s midfield rotation for the 2025/26 season, playing alongside Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Leon Goretzka.
Now, with the player pushing for an early exit, Tuchel must reassess his squad options just weeks before the season begins.
🇩🇪 Bayern Dressing Room Divided
While Musiala has spoken publicly, insiders claim several senior Bayern players share his disappointment. Some feel Gravenberch’s quick departure shows a lack of commitment. Others, however, sympathize with the allure of Premier League football and a fresh start under Slot.
An anonymous Bayern staff member reportedly told Bild:
“It’s not just the fans who feel let down. The club believed in him, invested in him, gave him opportunities—and now he’s gone. It leaves a sour taste.”
⚖️ Should FIFA Intervene?
Musiala’s call for FIFA intervention in transfer policies has ignited debate. While some back his emotional stance, others argue that players have the right to pursue moves that benefit their careers. Still, the growing trend of players leaving after less than a year at major clubs raises ethical concerns around modern football’s loyalty and contract culture.
🔄 What’s Next for Bayern and Gravenberch?
While official confirmation is pending, all signs point to Gravenberch joining Liverpool imminently. Once medicals are completed, an official unveiling could happen within days.
Bayern, meanwhile, may re-enter the transfer market. Potential replacements could include Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) or Manu Koné (Borussia Mönchengladbach)—both previously scouted by the club.
❤️ Bayern Fans React: “This Hurts”
The Bayern Munich fanbase remains split. Some echo Musiala’s feelings of betrayal, while others acknowledge that “football is a business.”
“We’ll survive this,” one fan tweeted. “But it hurts when someone you welcomed into your club leaves without even looking back.
