Chelsea stand to secure a mega-money windfall if Bayern Munich sell Jamal Musiala, the 21-year-old German sensation who is being linked with an £80million move to the world’s biggest clubs including Manchester City and Liverpool.
Musiala joined Bayern at the age of 16 from Chelsea’s academy after agreeing a compensation package worth around £170,000 (€200,000).
No buy-back clause was inserted in that 2019 switch, but sources have told Mail Sport that a sell-on fee worth 20 per cent was included.
Rio Ferdinand was highly complimentary of the Germany international with 25 caps last week, saying he ‘has the potential to win the Ballon d’Or‘.
Musiala’s current contract is due to expire in 2026 with rival clubs circling in the hope that Bayern fail to agree an extension with the youngster who scored one goal and assisted two in their last Bundesliga win over Mainz.

Sources have told Mail Sport a 20 per cent sell-on clause was included when Musiala moved from Chelsea to Bayern Munich in 2019
If Musiala was sold for £80m, Chelsea would be due a whopping £16m of that transaction – a sum which could boost their bid to satisfy the Premier League‘s profit and sustainability rules even if paid in instalments.
Chelsea maintain they will be compliant with PSR, despite rival clubs claiming they need to raise significant funds this summer to avoid a breach.
Chelsea learned a harsh lesson when they were criticised for failing to secure a sell-on clause while negotiating Romelu Lukaku’s exit to Everton in 2014.
He was sold for £75m to Manchester United in 2017 with the London club not receiving a penny from that transfer.
There is no guarantee that Musiala will be sold this summer as Bayern have…
