According to this, 15 million euros of the maximum 25 million euros to be transferred to Leipzig will be paid directly, another five million will be brought in by two friendlies. In the two games, RB are guaranteed revenue of at least 2.5 million per game.
The other five million, on the other hand, depend on success-related factors. For two million, Bayern would have to win the double twice with Nagelsmann, so the championship in the previous season was not enough. The remaining three million would be due in the event of a Champions League win within Nagelsmann’s five-year contract.

In order to make the transfer possible, which the 35-year-old also wanted, he even waived 15 percent of the salary that he had already negotiated with FCB.

FC Bayern, rumor: Final talks about Laimer change?

Since January 1, Laimer has been allowed to make contact with other clubs due to his expiring contract. An agreement between the Austrian and FC Bayern has long existed.
