Bayern Munich celebrated the signing of Jamal Musiala's five-year extension, which came after extensive negotiations regarding a release clause. Bayern has typically eschewed such clauses, preferring to manage player departures through sales. However, following Harry Kane's arrival, they agreed to a release clause of €80M. The clause escalates to €175M from 2025 to 2028 before decreasing to €100M in 2029, a strategic move given Musiala's talent, providing a feasible exit fee if he chooses to leave.
Bayern Munich fans collectively released a sigh of relief when the club's star player, Jamal Musiala, signed a five-year extension on Valentine's Day.
One of the biggest sticking points was the issue of a release clause. Traditionally, Bayern has rejected release clauses in contracts on the basic premise that if a player truly wants to leave then the club will facilitate a sale.
Musiala's team pushed hard for a release clause and Bayern finally conceded the point, which resulted in an €80M release clause being included.
The release clause drops to a more reasonable €100M when Musiala has one year remaining on this deal, making it a viable fee for potential suitors.
