Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthäus challenges Uli Hoeneß over Musiala comments

Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthäus has publicly challenged Uli Hoeneß regarding his remarks about Jamal Musiala's contract and salary. Writing in his column for Sky Germany, Matthäus argued that Bayern must maintain consistent financial logic across its squad. He emphasized that the club willingly agreed to Musiala's contract terms and length, taking on the inherent risks that come with guaranteeing future performance.

Matthäus contrasted Musiala's situation with Michael Olise, stating that if Hoeneß is measuring value for money, Olise's salary should be doubled or tripled given his surging market value. Musiala has recently endured extensive injury struggles, including a severe ankle injury sustained in July 2025, but rejoined Bayern's group training earlier in the month.
