Jamal Musiala has admitted he can see himself signing a contract extension with Bayern Munich despite significant interest in his services from the Premier League.

The former Chelsea academy star has been linked with a return to the Blues, while all of Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have also been credited with interest in Musiala as he approaches the final 18 months of his current contract.

Bayern officials have openly admitted their desire to retain Musiala's services, and the 21-year-old did not shy away from discussing his future in the aftermath of Bayern's 4-0 win over Mainz, in which Musiala scored a hat-trick.

Asked whether he could see himself inking fresh terms with Bayern, Musiala told Sky: "Yes, I can. We are in talks. I am happy and enjoying my time here."

In a later appearance in front of the press, Musiala confessed he is enjoying the "mystery" surrounding his future.

"I think I can't say much right now," he explained. "I think it's better to keep a bit of 'mystery'. But I have to say I'm really happy. I hope you see too that I'm happy here. There's not much to say now."

Musiala declined to put a timeframe on his negotiations but admitted he plans to think more about his future during the Bundesliga's winter break.

"There actually isn't a timeline," he said. "My focus was on getting fit after my injury and keeping the problems under control to be available in many games in the first half of the season.

"During the winter break, I can think more about it."
