But according to The Athletic, Musiala will put pen to paper with the German, European and world champions later this week as he commits his future to Bayern.
Musiala has played 26 times for Bayern already this season, scoring four goals.
And it was his recent goal in the Champions League against Lazio which caught the eye of those in England, where he was an academy player for Chelsea until 2019.
Musiala spent eight years with the Blues, joining the club in 2011 before leaving to join Bayern 18 months ago.
News of Musiala signing for Bayern in the coming days follows his decision to choose the German national team over England last week.
The youngster has played as a youth team player for both countries, but decided to go with Germany, where he was born.

The midfielder contacted Gareth Southgate and under-18s coach Kevin Betsy directly to inform them the reasons behind his decision.
And he could earn his first call-up for Germany as early as next month when the four-time World Cup winners face Iceland, Romania and North Macedonia.
Musiala will be hoping to make a late bid to be included in Joachim Low’s 23-man squad for Euro 2020 where Germany have been drawn against Portugal, France and Hungary.
Meanwhile, Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also considering his international future as he decides between England and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
