This Bayern star is suffering from a difficult-to-cure illness

Jamal Musiala, 23, collapsed twice on the pitch in just a few days last August. It's uncertain whether he'll ever regain his best form.

On August 15th, images circulated on social media and sent chills down spines. The German prodigy from Bayern Munich collapsed on the pitch during a friendly match against Leipzig, suffering from a sudden illness. The scene shocked his teammates and opponents alike.

Bayern Munich quickly reassured their fans about the 23-year-old's health. He was even able to return to play a few days later, on August 18th. However, Jamal Musiala collapsed on the pitch once again.

In an interview with "RTL" on August 19, Ueli Hoeness, the honorary president of the club, announced that the German international was suffering from a "neurological dysfunction" which Bayern Munich had been "aware of for a long time".

Invited to speak on the German television channel "BR" this Sunday, Ueli Hoeness agreed to give more details about the health of his player who was able to play again until mid-September before suffering an injury that has kept him off the field ever since.

25 million per year until 2030

“We are facing a dilemma with him: he suffers from a difficult-to-cure disease, but one that can be controlled to some extent by drug treatment. However, we do not know if he will ever regain his former level,” the honorary president acknowledged.

This dilemma raises some questions, given the lucrative contract recently signed by Jamal Musiala, worth €25 million per year until 2030. Does this call into question his future with the "Rekordmeister"? Absolutely not, according to Ueli Hoeness, who has offered his unconditional support to his player.
