Bayern Munich's sporting director discusses the club's new philosophy on release clauses
Briefly

Bayern Munich is navigating a significant transition as veteran players such as Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller make way for the younger generation. A primary challenge for the management is negotiating contracts that satisfy both the club’s financial strategy and the players’ demands, which include aspects like signing bonuses and contract length. Notably, the negotiations with Jamal Musiala highlighted the importance of a release clause, which was crucial for reaching an agreement. Bayern is determined to assemble a competitive team while ensuring long-term success through compromise in negotiations.
As a matter of principle, we don't talk about contract details. There are different configurations. We're structuring the contracts in such a way that it's also good for FC Bayern in the long term.
Bayern's willingness to accept a release clause was a breakthrough point in the negotiations with Musiala, regardless of the figure.
We want to maximise our success and put together the best possible team. Sometimes you have to find compromises. We always want to get the best deal for FC Bayern in the negotiations.
Bayern Munich is undergoing a monumental shift as legends like Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller allow the younger generation to become the face of the club.
