“It’s Just Not Fair”: Musiala Reacts as Gravenberch Nears Shock Liverpool Transfer, Leaving Bayern Dressing Room Stunned
Bayern Munich’s summer has taken a turbulent turn as Jamal Musiala publicly voiced frustration over a teammate’s impending move to Liverpool — a departure that has reportedly left the squad reeling.
Gravenberch Set to Join Liverpool
Although not officially confirmed, strong indications point to 22-year-old midfielder Ryan Gravenberch as the player pushing for a move to Anfield. Just a year after arriving from Ajax, Gravenberch is believed to have already agreed personal terms with Liverpool. His rapid decision to leave, despite being earmarked for a central role in Bayern’s future, has caught many at the club off guard.
Musiala Speaks Out
In an interview with Kicker, Musiala didn’t hold back his disappointment:
“Everyone is upset. Even the coach is disappointed. He came here just last season — now he’s leaving for Liverpool? It doesn’t feel right. Honestly, I think FIFA should step in and look into how such moves happen so easily.”
Musiala’s remarks reflect deeper frustrations about player turnover and the perceived lack of commitment in modern football.
Tuchel’s Plans Derailed
Gravenberch was seen as a key figure in Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the upcoming season. His sudden exit has disrupted pre-season preparations and forced Bayern to consider unexpected midfield reinforcements. Players like Manu Koné and Martin Zubimendi are reportedly back on the radar.
Divided Opinions Inside the Club
While Musiala has taken a firm stance, not everyone within Bayern shares the same sentiment. Some players reportedly understand Gravenberch’s desire for more regular playing time and the appeal of the Premier League under a new Liverpool project led by Arne Slot.
Still, a number of staff and players feel betrayed. One insider noted:
“We gave him everything — trust, opportunity, support. And now he’s leaving without giving back. It’s a bitter pill.”
Deal Nearly Complete
The transfer, expected to cost Liverpool around £42 million, is said to be in the final stages, with only the medical and paperwork remaining. The move fits Liverpool’s recruitment strategy, focused on young, energetic midfielders capable of thriving in Slot’s system.
Fan Reaction: Painful but Understandable
Supporters of Bayern are torn. Some praise Musiala’s loyalty and believe players should honor their contracts, while others see the move as a reflection of today’s football climate — fast-moving, ambition-driven, and often ruthless.
As one fan put it:
“We’ll get through this — we always do. But this one hurts. You want players to fight for the badge, not just pass through.”
