Musiala demands release clause in Bayern contract talks

Jamal Musiala is reportedly seeking a €175 million release clause in his new contract with Bayern Munich, as per Sport Bild. While Bayern had hoped to announce an extension before Christmas, negotiations are ongoing and complicated by Musiala's demand.

His representatives want the clause included, with its importance varying based on the contract length—more crucial for a five-year deal than a four-year one. Bayern, however, are opposed to the idea of a release clause, which is typically avoided by the club.

As talks continue, Bayern must decide how flexible they are to secure a deal with the 21-year-old. Meanwhile, Europe's top clubs are watching closely, ready to capitalize on any developments in Musiala's contract situation.
