It looks like Chelsea could try to raid Bayern Munich for one of their star players this summer.

In the 2023 winter and summer transfer windows, Chelsea made several additions to their attack.

The Blues brought in the likes of Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk, for example, with the former really thriving at Stamford Bridge this season.

Since arriving at Chelsea from Manchester City, Palmer has made 34 appearances, scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists.

Despite adding to their attack in those two transfer windows, the club are now reportedly eyeing Jamal Musiala.

According to Sport Bild, Bayern are trying to get Musiala to sign a new contract at the Allianz Arena.

However, the same outlet claims that Chelsea are one Premier League club who have the attacking midfielder on their radar and are ready to work extremely hard to land him if he does not agree an extension with the Bundesliga champions.

Manchester City and Liverpool are the other English teams who are said to be interested in Musiala.

It has been claimed that the 21-year-old has already rejected one contract proposal from Bayern.

He has been described as a “world-class” player by former manager Julian Nagelsmann in the past.

Who should Chelsea prioritise, Jamal Musiala or Florian Wirtz?

Musiala is not the only Bundesliga attacker Chelsea seem to be interested in. The Blues have also been linked with Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, who is having an excellent season.

Towards the end of 2023, the Daily Star claimed that Chelsea were one of many top clubs in the queue for the 20-year-old.

Wirtz has scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in 26 Bundesliga appearances this term, proving to be a really dangerous attacker.

However, there is that Chelsea connection there with Musiala after his time with the club’s academy, while his numbers have also been impressive for the last few seasons now.

The Germany international has roughly the same amount of goal contributions as his international team-mate and is completing an incredible 3.8 dribbles per league game (WhoScored). He is the one Chelsea should probably sign if they can.
