Bayern Munich’s squad is reeling after a shocking revelation that a player who joined just last season has decided to leave for Liverpool. Jamal Musiala has openly criticized this decision, describing it as unfair and calling for FIFA to intervene. The entire dressing room is reportedly upset, with the coach equally disappointed by the timing and the lack of loyalty shown.
Reports circulating within the club indicate that the player, believed to be Ryan Gravenberch, quietly reached an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool after weeks of secret negotiations. His departure has been perceived as a betrayal, especially since he was expected to be a key part of Bayern’s long-term plans.
Gravenberch was signed from Ajax as a cornerstone of the midfield rebuild, seen as a perfect complement to Musiala and Kimmich. Less than a year later, he is preparing to walk away, leaving his teammates feeling blindsided and demoralized by how quickly things unraveled.
Speaking to German media, Musiala vented his frustration, saying it was not only selfish but also damaging to the club’s stability. He argued that FIFA should review how transfers like this can happen so easily, undermining trust and cohesion within squads.
Liverpool have been aggressive in the market as they overhaul their midfield after losing several veterans. Gravenberch’s blend of power and skill fits exactly what new manager Arne Slot wants, and reports suggest a £42 million transfer is all but finalized.
Thomas Tuchel is said to be very disappointed, as Gravenberch was central to his tactical plans for the coming season. Now Tuchel faces the additional challenge of finding a replacement at short notice, with the squad’s morale already taking a hit.
Inside the club, some players have expressed understanding of why Gravenberch would be tempted by Liverpool, but most are frustrated by what they see as a lack of respect for the project they were trying to build together. The split opinions have only deepened the sense of division.
Among fans, reactions are mixed—some back Musiala’s strong words, while others accept that football has become transactional. Whatever side people take, this saga has exposed how quickly trust can evaporate and how little room there is for sentiment in the modern game.
