Jamal Musiala has signed his first pro contract. Less than 10 days ago announced he had decided to play in the future for the German national team instead of England, for which he was also eligible, after a talk with Germany coach Joachim Loew. Loew has said Musiala will be called up for their internationals later in March.

Bayern Munich's attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala on Friday signed a professional contract that will keep him at the German champions until 2026.

Musiala joined Bayern's Under-17s in 2019 from Chelsea and has quickly developed to earn playing time with the senior team and is also expecting a call-up from the German national side.

"We are very happy that Jamal signed his first contract and it was a long-term one for Bayern," the club's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic said in a statement.
