Once you’ve made millions, are with one of the best clubs in your home country (whom you already supported!) and have your National Team spot nailed on, why would you wander off to anywhere else, let alone England, where you’ll get kicked to death, flogged like a coal miners donkey, and worse?!

I’m sure he has an absolutely brilliant life for a young man his age and there’s not a reason in the world to upset that apple cart!

Agreed. He’s in no rush
Same with the likes of Musiala, people forget how young they actually are

So, what do we make of this extension? It seems like Leverkusen wouldn’t want to let him go to Bayern next summer, prioritizing a move abroad instead. Could he have decided to extend with a release clause to secure this boring move to Bayern after the World Cup eventually?

Or do we still stand a chance next summer?

I think the chances of getting him are increasingly remote. Bayer Leverkusen would rather we had him than Bayern, but ultimately they want to keep him. Bayern are occupied with keeping Musiala but he won't come cheap. I think Bayern will wait another year before banging their fist on the table and taking him in 2026. They might face stiff competition from Real Madrid. But I think 12 more months followed by an enormous offer from Bayern will tempt Leverkusen. I don't think we would be the player's preferred destination.

His current contract runs out 2027, extend it by a year with better pay. Sell him after the 2026 WC maximise his price if he has a good World Cup with 2 years still left on contract. Doubt he will have a release clause.
