Jamal Musiala's desire for a mammoth release clause stands as a roadblock to his new contract

Some sources highlight that Jamal Musiala is seeking to include a release clause of €175 million in his new contract negotiations with Bayern Munich. 

Musiala's release clause has become a cause of concern

Bayern Munich is eager to announce a contract extension for Musiala, extending his contract beyond 2026, ideally before Christmas. However, discussions are still in progress, and Musiala's request for the release clause may extend the timeline for finalising the agreement.

Sport Bild has reported that the German international Jamal Musiala is seeking the inclusion of a release clause worth €175 million during his contract negotiations with Bayern. The report indicates that Musiala's representatives are discussing the clause as a factor related to the duration of the contract.

Bayern Munich is currently in discussions regarding Musiala's contract demands, particularly concerning the inclusion of a release clause, which typically doesn't align with the club's policies. It will be interesting to see how flexible Bayern is willing to be to reach an agreement with the talented 21-year-old. Meanwhile, his future remains a subject of interest, with many of Europe's top clubs keeping a close watch on developments.

Despite this, Der Rekordmeister remains hesitant to incorporate the clause into the agreement. As discussions continue, it seems the outcome will hinge on which party proves more resolute. 

Unless Bayern can persuade Musiala’s management to forgo a release clause, the club will need to consider whether to accept the risk of losing the midfielder for nothing. Alternatively, the German international may choose to withdraw from negotiations.

Jamal Musiala has netted an impressive 48 goals and 24 assists for the Bundesliga giants and has been one of the key performers for the side for a long time.
