The club's general manager Uli Hoeness said:
"This is a participation (in the club) and a long-term contract. It is a package. An advertising contract and a participation. The amount is well over 100 million euros (£90m)."
Hoeness said the deal was yet to be finalised but he expected an announcement before the club's annual general meeting on Nov. 27.
