Bayern Munich passed on two Jamal Musiala replacement options this summer

Bayern Munich opted against signing an additional attacking midfielder despite Jamal Musiala's long-term injury, passing on opportunities to acquire Marco Asensio from Real Madrid and Fabio Vieira from Arsenal.

According to Sport Bild, Jorge Mendes' agency offered both players to Bayern after Musiala's injury. The club showed more interest in Asensio due to his experience and proven ability at the highest level, but ultimately declined because his salary demands were too high. Talks with Vieira never progressed significantly.

Vieira subsequently made his debut for Hamburg in a 5-0 defeat to Bayern, while Asensio joined Fenerbahçe instead. The article suggests these outcomes worked well for all parties, as Vieira needs playing time to develop and Asensio's signing would only have made financial sense for Bayern if conditions were ideal.

The author also mentions Enzo Millot as another potential option Bayern did not pursue, alongside other transfer-related considerations including Luis Díaz contingencies, Serge Gnabry's future performance, and the potential sale of Michael Olise.
