Bayern Munich is contemplating a contract extension for center-back Dayot Upamecano, though discussions have not progressed. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen highlighted Upamecano's development under coach Vincent Kompany, emphasizing the positive impact on his confidence. Rumors indicate that Upamecano seeks a significant salary increase, raising potential budgetary concerns amid the club’s current cost control efforts. Meanwhile, Bayern is evaluating potential winger acquisitions like Real Madrid's Rodrygo and RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons, considering the implications of potential sales involving players such as João Palhinha and Kim Min-jae.
"I won't give contract updates or talk about conversations we're having with players or agents. But one thing is right: Upamecano is flourishing under Vincent Kompany."
"The deal with Upamecano figures to get done, but it has been rumored that he wants a massive raise - something which could give Bayern Munich a reason to hesitate."
