"For a while now, Bayern Munich supporters have been against the club including release clauses in player contracts. However, fans are fighting a losing battle. Why? Because the club has been including exit clauses in players deals for quite a while. The thought that Bayern Munich was the last hold out raging against the machine is, well, outdated. Per Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER), here are just a few of the known release clauses on the books at Bayern Munich:"
"Harry Kane: around 65 million € in summer 2026 (must be triggered by the end of January) Jamal Musiala: 175 million €, decreases to 100 million € by summer 2029 Kim Min-jae: 100 million €, decreases to 70 million € by summer 2026 And there are undoubtedly more....so, it is time to admit defeat on this one. It is a new world and while we might not like it, this is how deals will get done and Bayern Munich knows it."
Bayern Munich increasingly uses release clauses in player contracts despite supporter opposition. Several high-profile clauses exist, including Harry Kane (~€65m in summer 2026, triggerable by end of January), Jamal Musiala (€175m falling to €100m by summer 2029), and Kim Min-jae (€100m falling to €70m by summer 2026). Release clauses can decline over time and influence negotiations, potentially complicating deals such as those for Dayot Upamecano. The club still tries to avoid release clauses where possible, but market realities have made such clauses a common and increasingly inevitable mechanism for completing transfers.
