"Bayern Munich are working on strengthening the squad during the winter by agreeing on long-term deals with their two senior players. Serge Gnabry looks set to sign a new deal after enjoying a productive first half of the season. Bayern are particularly facing challenges in contract talks with Dayot Upamecano. The French defender is free to talk with interested clubs in January regarding a free transfer in the summer. Upamecano feels comfortable in Munich, but talks are yet to reach a positive conclusion."
"Bayern have received a big boost this week as one of the potential suitors for Upamecano has decided against pursuing a move. According to The Athletic, the wage demands of Dayot Upamecano are considered excessive by Real Madrid. As things stand, the Spanish giants will not explore a transfer for the French defender. The Athletic also reiterated the fact that talks are continuing between Upamecano and Bayern regarding a new deal. Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in the French defender."
"From Upamecano's point of view, there are more pros than cons about staying at Bayern beyond this season. Vincent Kompany will play a crucial role in getting the French defender sign a new deal. The Belgian head coach has gotten the best out of Upamecano over the last 18 months. Upamecano had struggled for consistency in the Bavarian colours before Kompany's arrival. He is currently one of the first names on the team sheet and considered one of the best defenders in Europe."
Bayern Munich are working to strengthen the squad in the winter by agreeing long-term deals with senior players, with Serge Gnabry close to a new contract after a productive first half of the season. Contract talks with Dayot Upamecano remain challenging; he can speak to interested clubs in January and feels comfortable in Munich, but negotiations have not concluded. One potential suitor has withdrawn and Real Madrid consider his wage demands excessive, while Paris Saint-Germain remain interested. Bayern are cautiously optimistic Upamecano will stay, citing successful recent renewals, and Vincent Kompany's coaching has significantly improved Upamecano's form.
