Musiala's management is said to be seeking an exit clause valued between 150 million and 175 million euros, a figure that would make the Germany international one of the highest-valued players in Europe. This demand has sparked concerns at Bayern, who fear that agreeing to the clause could set a precedent, potentially transforming the club into a selling club, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For decades, Bayern have prided themselves on resisting exit clauses, with former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying, \"We don't work with exit clauses, as you give options out of control.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The situation has become even more complicated given that no other Bayern player has such a clause, meaning Musiala's deal could set a precedent for future contracts. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
While 175 million euros is a significant price tag, it remains far from the world record transfer fee, which stands at the 222 million euros that Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona for Neymar in 2017. In comparison, players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid have release clauses worth up to one billion euros - a sum deemed unrealistic by most clubs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Musiala's current contract runs until 2026, but with no resolution in sight, the prospect of a sale next summer is becoming increasingly likely if an agreement isn't reached. For Bayern, losing Musiala - who has become the club's most valuable and influential player - could be a devastating blow. The club sees him as the figurehead for its future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bayern executives, however, are reportedly reluctant to rush the decision. According to magazine Kicker, negotiations have progressed slowly but steadily, and while the winter break was seen as a potential window for closure, no deal has been finalized. Bayern, though, are reportedly willing to offer a new deal without an exit clause, potentially adding performance-based bonuses to sweeten the deal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A similar situation looms with Joshua Kimmich. The newly-appointed Bayern captain, whose contract is also up for renewal, is reportedly waiting to see how Musiala's case unfolds before making his own decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
