After lengthy negotiations, Bayern Munich announced a contract extension until 2030 for Dayot Upamecano in February. However, according to reports, the agreement came at a price, with a €65 million release clause included.
Given the current state of the transfer market, such a fee would arguably represent a bargain for a player of Upamecano’s calibre.
However, while neither confirming nor denying the reports, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl didn't appear particularly concerned when asked about the release clause at the weekend.
“I’m not here to explain the details of contracts," Eberl was quoted as saying by Absolut Bayern.
“One thing is clear: we have extended Upamecano’s contract, we’re absolutely delighted that we have, and, honestly, he feels incredibly comfortable here.”
Bayern themselves activated a €42.5 million release clause to sign the French centre-back from RB Leipzig in 2021.
