Following Jamal Musiala's severe injury against PSG in the Club World Cup quarterfinals, the Bavarians have stepped up their interest in a past target. According to The Times, the German champions have identified Chelsea 's wantaway star Christopher Nkunku. He could be the player to step up in Musiala's absence.

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala says “nobody is to blame” for the serious left leg injury he sustained last week. The Germany international fractured his fibula as a result of a broken ankle in Bayern’s Club World Cup quarter-final defeat by Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday following a collision with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Musiala was stretchered off the pitch after appearing to suffer a bad lower leg injury, with the Bayern Munich midfielder visibly distressed as he left the pitch during the quarterfinal against PSG in Atlanta.
