'He could win the Ballon D'Or - Musiala 'would love' to join Liverpool after source's reveal, says Agbonlahor

Gabby Agbonlahor has insisted Liverpool are missing a “top midfielder” and should go all out to land Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala.

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested summer signing Alexis Mac Allister is yet to “perform” in a Reds shirt.

Football Insider revealed last week (21 October) that Liverpool are doing their due diligence on a potential move for Bayern Munich star Musiala.

It is believed Jurgen Klopp’s side are sounding out a possible swoop for the 20-year-old as speculation ramps up about his contract situation in Bavaria.

Musiala has notched two goals and three assists in 10 appearances this season and scored as Bayern ran out 3-1 winners over Galatasaray in Champions League action on Tuesday (24 October).

He is under contract at the Bundesliga champions until June 2026.

When asked if Liverpool should go all out to get Musiala, Agbonlahor told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “100%.

“If I look at Liverpool and their team – Szoboszlai and Mac Allister. Mac Allister hasn’t performed yet, for me.

“I think they’re missing one more top midfielder in there.

“Musiala is the kind of player that could win the Ballon d’Or, but I don’t think it’s possible at Bayern Munich.

“Germany aren’t great at the moment either, so for him to win it – does he have to be in the Premier League or in La Liga with Real Madrid?

“I think it’s something the player would love to do. He knows England well.

“But every club in the world will be looking at him. When he’s on the pitch, he makes things happen – we saw that against Man United.

“He had Casemiro chasing shadows.

“Musiala is going to cost a lot, but it’s so exciting. What a top player.”
