Musiala urged to snub Chelsea: 'Don't even think about it!'
Thomas Muller has told Jamal Musiala to 'not even waste a thought' on potentially leaving Bayern Munich.
Speculation surrounding the German wonderkid continues. Musiala has been in red-hot form so far this season. He recently returned from a brief injury lay-off and was unplayable against Bochum at the weekend and Mainz in the DFB-Pokal midweek.
The 21-year-old has netted seven goals and provided four assists in 11 games this season, with coach Vincent Kompany having found a way to get the best out of the youngster.

Musiala is out of contract in 2026 and Bayern are doing everything in their power to get him to extend, offering to bring him in line with Harry Kane on an annual wage of at least €20 million, potentially rising to €25m with bonuses.
After the match against Mainz, Musiala revealed that he would use the winter break to make a firm decision on his future, with clear priority given to Bayern despite high-profile suitors.
Muller tells Musiala to stay put
Musiala has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Real Madrid and recently with a return to Chelsea where he spent eight years as a child and teenager.
However, when asked whether he could see himself committing his long-term future to Bayern, Musiala insisted: "Yes, I can. We are in talks. I am happy and enjoying my time here. I have to say, I'm really happy. I hope you can see that I'm happy here too."

Now, Bayern teammate Thomas Muller has given his thoughts on the future of his heir-apparent, with the 35-year-old convinced that Musiala is 'not even wasting a thought' on potentially leaving the club.
"I am sure that Jamal knows how important he is to the fans, how much people love him, not just at Bayern but also throughout Germany. I think he would do well to think three, four or five times about leaving - that is if he even wastes a thought on it at all."
