Arsenal have been name-checked in fresh chatter around Jamal Musiala’s future, with a claim that his representatives recently spoke to Andrea Berta. The message from Germany, though, is unchanged. Bayern Munich are not entertaining a sale, and the player is happy where he is.
The story still nudges the wider picture in North London. Musiala’s long-held admiration for Arsenal and a stated ambition to play in the Premier League one day keep the narrative alive, even as any move now would be complex and costly. One figure has already surfaced: a package north of £140m that the Arsenal board would weigh carefully given concerns over the attacker’s injury record.
There is also a planning layer. The suggestion is that Berta is working hard on four major arrivals for next summer: covering left wing, defensive midfield, left-back and centre-forward, as Arsenal aim to turn steady progress into major silverware.
Jamal Musiala to Arsenal: where it stands

Per 2SAONLY, Musiala’s agent(s) held conversations with Berta “a few days ago.” The stance from Bayern is firm: not for sale. The player, for his part, is described as very happy at Bayern Munich. Even so, the report reiterates his admiration for Arsenal and a dream to play in the Premier League at some stage of his career.
That combination explains the noise without promising movement. Interest is real at fan and boardroom level, but the current conditions, club stance, player contentment, and fee, push any serious change onto a longer horizon.
Bayern’s message is simple: they are adamant about keeping Musiala. That clarity usually closes doors in the near term. Yet the Premier League pull remains part of the player’s long-term outlook, and Arsenal’s presence as a favoured destination ensures the rumour mill keeps spinning.
For Arsenal, the key is to balance admiration with prudence. Big numbers invite big risk, especially when medical history is part of the discussion. Any pursuit would need to align with budget, profile and availability, three levers that are not aligned right now.

The figure floated is more than £140m. According to the report, the board would be wary of committing that level of spend given concerns about Musiala’s injury record. That is not a hard no; it is a caution flag. Elite fees demand elite certainty.
Against that backdrop, timing becomes everything. If Bayern will not sell and Arsenal will not stretch without full confidence, the most likely outcome is patience rather than a push.
Squad planning: four roles on the summer list
The same report outlines parallel work for next summer: one winger, one defensive midfielder, one left-back and one striker. The names linked as primary “tier 1” options are Julian Alvarez, Semenyo, Agoume and Robinson.
The shape of that plan is obvious. Add end product on the left, reinforce the base of midfield, add depth and pace at full-back, and secure a reliable No.9. The intention is to build a “monster team” that can finally convert promise into trophies.
