After the news that he had signed the contract, further reports from Florian Plettenberg indicated a considerably large release clause was included.

Jamal #Musiala’s new contract (until 2030) includes a release clause:

➡️ Summer 2025 to Winter 2028/2029: €175 million

➡️ From Summer 2029 and Winter 2029/2030: €100 million. @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/9iGtasUNeQ

Bayern executive Max Eberl chose to comment on the contract details in a recent interview with Sky Sport (via@iMiaSanMia).

I can guarantee that Jamal will play for Bayern Munich for the coming years. I’m not going to talk about contract details here now. I know this is a journalistic and interesting topic and everyone thinks they know better.Max Eberl

Musiala is just 21 and enjoying his football at Bayern Munich, joining in 2019 from Premier League side Chelsea. He will undoubtedly be playing for the Die Roten for many years.

However, if the reports of a $183 million release clause are accurate, it's a price both parties are happy with.
