Chelsea is on the cusp of receiving a significant financial boost should Bayern Munich opt to transfer Jamal Musiala.
Musiala, a product of Chelsea’s youth system, sharpened his abilities there before moving to Bayern at 16, with a deal worth approximately £170,000 ($217,000).

The 2019 agreement lacked a buy-back option, yet it’s reported by Daily Mail that Chelsea secured a 20% sell-on clause.
If Musiala’s transfer fee reaches the speculated £80 million, Chelsea could gain £16 million from the sale.
Such a profit would fortify Chelsea’s finances and support adherence to the Premier League’s fiscal regulations, even if received in parts.
Contrary to other clubs’ speculation about Chelsea’s financial needs, the club affirms its dedication to regulatory compliance.
The desire for a sell-on clause is rooted in Chelsea’s history, particularly the lesson learned from Romelu Lukaku’s move to Everton in 2014, which later led to a missed financial opportunity when he joined Manchester United in 2017.
Bayern is eager to extend Musiala’s contract to ward off Liverpool and Manchester City’s interest.
Yet, as contract talks stall, the chance of bids from interested parties grows as the transfer period nears.
Chelsea values Musiala highly, and their focus on nurturing young talent matches his profile. Whether Todd Boehly will pursue the German prodigy is yet to unfold.
