"Summary: Herein lies the rub - Bayern Munich was rumored to be offering a release clause eligible to be triggered in 2028, while Upamecano wanted one able to be exercised in 2027. This is a pretty massive issue, especially when considering how the signing bonus would be paid (lump sum vs. prorated vs. prorated with voidable years). If the rumors on Bayern Munich's offer are true, the Bavarians won this part of the deal...but it is not exactly something to cele"
"What Bayern Munich was rumored to have offered: €20 million, but it is unclear whether that would come in a lump sum payment, prorated over the length of the contract, or prorated over the length of a contract with voidable years. Summary: Upamecano had every right to pursue a signing bonus and it is a clever way to up his overall contract value without dumping it the contract's annual salary value."
Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano agreed a contract extension after negotiations over salary structure, signing bonus, and release-clause timing. Upamecano allegedly sought a €20 million salary and a €20 million lump-sum signing bonus, while Bayern reportedly matched the €20 million total but disputed whether payment should be lump sum, prorated, or prorated with voidable years. Upamecano reportedly wanted a release clause exercisable in 2027 for about €60–65 million; Bayern was rumored to offer a clause triggerable in 2028 with an unspecified fee. Fans expressed frustration, but other clubs were reportedly willing to meet the salary demand.
