JAMAL MUSIALA RETURNS: CAN BAYERN’S “BEST PLAYER” RECLAIM THE BUNDESLIGA THRONE
Harry Kane celebrates Jamal Musiala’s return after 164 days out. Will the German star feature in Bayern’s final game of 2025?
Harry Kane is happy to have Jamal Musiala, who he thinks is Bayern Munich's best player, back on the team after being out for six months with an injury. The 21-year-old German player has been out since July. He got hurt during Bayern's match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.
Musiala Returns to Training
Musiala's return to training this week at Sabener Strabe marks a huge step in his recovery. He was badly hurt last summer and had to be stretchered off after a bad hit. He needed surgery and a long recovery, which Bayern's doctors took slowly. They watched every step closely as he worked to move again and regain his strength and confidence. His first outdoor practice on Tuesday was a big sign of progress.
Kane Is Excited to Have Musiala Back
Kane quickly shared how glad he was to see Musiala back. He told Sky Sports Germany, "It's great to have him back." Even before he got hurt last season, I thought he was often the best player on the team. It's like we've signed two great new players, like Alphonso Davies. I'm really happy they're back. They're important, especially with how we play. They fit in perfectly because of how strong they are, how they start plays, and how they run.
Kane also said that people shouldn't expect too much too soon and that Musiala needs time to get back to his best.
He said, They shouldn't feel too pressured and should focus on getting fit first. That will take a few weeks. But we'll need them even more when February comes, and things get really important.
Bayern Is Doing Well Despite Musiala's Absence
Even though Musiala has been out for a while, Bayern has still been doing great. Under Vincent Kompany, they've only lost one game in all competitions, thanks to their strong attack. Kane has been leading the way, with help from Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, and Serge Gnabry. Young player Lennart Karl has also been doing well, showing how much talent Bayern has. Because of this, Bayern can afford to be patient and not rush Musiala back, as they lead the Bundesliga.
Kompany has been careful about how much people expect from Musiala's return. Before Bayern's 2-2 game with Mainz, he said that Musiala is close to being ready to play, but they won't take any shortcuts.
Jamal is getting close, he said. Hopefully it will be next week. But I want to be clear that there's no pressure on Jamal or the doctors. Hopefully, he can get in some practices before Christmas. That would be good for him and the team. Then, he can start playing in January. That would be ideal.
Davies; Musiala's Return Boosts Team Morale
Alphonso Davies also recently returned after being out for nine months with a knee injury. He and Musiala are looking forward to starting 2026 in great shape. Captain Joshua Kimmich talked about how hard it can be mentally to deal with these kinds of injuries. He praised Davies' strength and said that both Davies and Musiala stayed involved with the team even when they couldn't play.
The way he handled his rehab was amazing. "I don't think I could have done it with as much energy," Kimmich said.
He always tried to stay close to the team. He's been with us in the locker room for months, coming to the games and hanging out with Jamal, playing music, and trying to keep everyone's spirits up. That's something you can't take for granted.
It's unlikely that Musiala will be rushed back for Bayern's last game of 2025 against Heidenheim. Instead, they're planning for him to return in January so he can get back into shape without pressure. They expect him to be a key player from February on, when the games get more important.
BAYERN MUNICH FACE MAJOR DECISION ON LEON GORETZKA AS EUROPEAN GIANTS CIRCLE NOW
Leon Goretzka’s future at Bayern Munich is uncertain as Tottenham and Napoli show interest. Discover why Vincent Kompany wants him to stay.
The winter transfer window is just around the corner, and as usual, Bayern Munich's name is popping up in transfer rumours all over the place. But the top guys at the club keep saying they won't be bringing anyone in this January.
As for players leaving, there's talk about guys whose contracts are almost up. Leon Goretzka is one of them, and he's been linked to a bunch of clubs lately.
Apparently, Bayern hasn't offered Goretzka a new deal yet. They're looking at younger midfielders to possibly replace him in the summer. Tottenham, Napoli, Fenerbahce, and Atletico Madrid are all said to be interested in snagging Goretzka this winter.
Sky Sports Germany says that Vincent Kompany thinks highly of Goretzka. The coach wants him to stay and appreciates what he brings to the field.
On the other hand, The Athletic is saying that the rumours about Goretzka going to Tottenham are off base. Apparently, Tottenham isn't trying to get him. Goretzka is also said to be locked in on finishing out the season strong with Bayern.
Goretzka's still got a job to do at Bayern.
Aleksandar Pavlovic has kind of jumped ahead of Goretzka in the lineup. The young midfielder played great in the first half of the season.
Goretzka's been coming off the bench lately. Even though he's not a starter right now, Goretzka can still help the team in the second half of the season. His experience will be really important in those big Champions League games. Plus, he can play different positions if needed. He can fill in on defence or be an attacking midfielder. A guy like that could be really helpful for Bayern as they try to win it all.
Right now, it looks like Kompany is happy with his team. Other than Sacha Boey, Bayern isn't expected to let go of any senior players this winter. Since Bayern is competing in three different competitions, Kompany will need everyone to play their best.
CONFIRMED: FABRIZIO ROMANO VALIDATES BAYERN MUNICH INTEREST IN €50M-RATED BRAZILIAN FORWARD RAYAN.
Bayern Munich eyes Vasco’s Rayan for a €50m summer move. Read how the 19-year-old fits into the 2026 attack alongside Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich had a decent summer with player transfers, though the timing could've been better. The club isn't planning on getting anyone new in January, but they're lining up deals for the summer.
Besides big-name signings, Bayern's also keeping an eye on young talent. They seem pretty interested in a top Brazilian prospect.
According to UOL in Brazil, Bayern is talking more with Vasco's forward, Rayan, and his people. The 19-year-old is up for joining Bayern, and Vasco is waiting for an offer. Word is, Vasco wants close to €50 million for himself.
Fabrizio Romano, the football transfer guy, also said Bayern is keen on Rayan. He knows there's been contact, but Rayan's just one of several players Bayern's looking at to beef up their attack.
Since Vasco might want a lot for Rayan, Bayern could be thinking about putting him straight into the first team. The kid can play on the right or behind the main striker. He's had a great season with Vasco, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.
Rayan's stats make him sound like a scoring machine, but he might need a bit to get used to the Bundesliga. Since Bayern has enough players in attack, Rayan could get time to adjust.
Bayern will need to get a forward next summer.
They let go of three experienced forwards over the summer and signed Luis Diaz for keeps, and Nicolas Jackson is on loan from Chelsea. Lennart Karl has really stepped up and is now a regular in the squad this season.
Max Eberl recently hinted that they probably won't buy Jackson permanently next summer. So, Bayern will need someone who can fill in for Harry Kane and play on the wings if needed.
Someone like Rayan might not be ready to back up Kane just yet. If Bayern gets the Brazilian forward, they'd still need another number nine to add some depth to the attack. Bayern might not spend a ton on forwards this summer, but there will definitely be some fresh faces in that part of the team.
