Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has confessed he is "open to everything" as rumours of a switch to the Premier League next summer continue to swirl.
Musiala has entered the final two years of his contract with Bayern and has been heavily linked with a return to England, where Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and former employers Chelsea have all been touted as potential suitors.
Publicly, Musiala has refused to commit his future to Bayern, despite several open pleas from those in charge in Munich, and he has once again confessed his next move remains undecided in the face of significant Premier League interest.
"That's a question I've got before," he told The Times when asked about a possible return to England. "For me, I don't really have a plan or anything. You take on what comes.
"I don't try to think too far forward about where I want to be because situations can always change by the year or by the month. At six years old, I didn't think about being in England at seven. I don't know.
"I'm open to everything but I’m very happy where I am right now.”
Bayern have made no secret of their desire to tie Musiala down to a new contract, with club president Herbert Hainer the latest in a long line of club officials to discuss his love of the Germany international in the media.
"I have to say that we love our Jamal more than anything," Hainer told Abendzeitung. "He is a once-in-a-century footballer and our first aim is of course to tie him to FC Bayern in the long term."
