Career

[edit]

NEC Nijmegen

In early April 2019, after making the first-team squad during the season, Musaba was one of four trainees to sign a new contract with NEC Nijmegen.[4] In the same month, he made his professional debut in an Eerste Divisie match against FC Volendam.[2]

He scored 7 goals and made 5 assists in 25 Eerste Divisie appearances in the 2019–20 season,[5] which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and which was his first full season.

Monaco

[edit]

In June 2020, Ligue 1 club AS Monaco FC announced the signing of Musaba on a five-year contract.[5][6] The transfer fee paid to NEC Nijmegen was reported as €2 to 2.5 million.[7]

On 3 August 2021, he made his debut as a late substitute in a UEFA Champions League qualifying third round first match against Sparta Prague, in 2–0 away win.[8]

Loan years

On 24 August 2020, he was loaned to Cercle Brugge until the end of 2020–21 season.[9] On 29 August 2020, he made his Belgian Pro League debut as a substitute against KV Kortrijk, in a 1–0 home loss.[10]

On 31 August 2021, he was loaned to Heerenveen until the end of 2021–22 season.[11] 18 September 2021, he made his debut with the team in a Eredivisie 1–0 home win against Fortuna Sittard.[12]

Musaba enjoyed a strong debut season and chipped in with eight goals in all competitions, seven in the Championship, and five assists.[21] Following the end of the 2024–25 season an option was taken on his contract.[22]
