He has, however, joined Newcastle in a £65m ($88m) deal as Alexander Isak’s replacement. That deal left Bayern scratching around for a striker towards the end of the summer transfer window.
GettyWHAT HAMANN SAID
Dietmar Hamann doubts that clause will be triggered, with the ex-Bayern star - speaking in association with Grosvenor Casino - telling GOAL: “Well, he’s got to play 40 games, and cup games don’t count. It’s only the league and the Champions League. If they were to get to the Champions League final, I think it’s 48 or 49 games. I think he misses five or six with the Africa Cup of Nations. So, he pretty much has to play every game. Which is a possibility, but it’s probably unlikely it’s going to happen.
“And I think Bayern Munich wanted to put that clause in because, I don’t want to say they weren’t keen to buy him, but they certainly weren’t keen to buy him for that amount of money, because obviously it’s a bit of a gamble. Got himself sent off a few times, a lot of yellow cards, got plenty of pace. But you need to see how he fits in, how he settles, the way he finds his place.
“It’s a lot of money for a one-year loan. But then again, Bayern Munich left it late and were desperate to bring a player in, and Chelsea obviously exploited it.”
