"The 2024/25 campaign at Bayern Munich was heavily dominated by contract extensions of several star players in the squad. Bayern achieved success in negotiations with Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Alphonso Davies, but couldn't agree on terms with Leroy Sane. The German winger left Bayern to join Galatasaray on a free transfer in the summer. The ongoing season is dominated by the contract extension of Dayot Upamecano."
"The French defender has just over seven months left on his current deal. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have shown concrete interest in the 27-year-old centre-back. Upamecano has excelled for Bayern this season. He has been one of the consistent performers for the Bavarian club in the last 18 months. After struggling for consistency at Bayern since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2021, Vincent Kompany has managed to get the best out of the French international."
"Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are ready to offer a lucrative contract to Upamecano. However, Bayern are not giving up on a contract extension. While talking to Sky Sports in Germany, Bayern President Herbert Hainer expressed optimism over the chances of Upamecano signing a new contract. "I'm optimistic. Everything I'm hearing, including when I speak to him myself, is that he's extremely happy at Bayern Munich, he feels incredibly comfortable in the team, and he also feels incredibly comfortable with the coach. This is also reflected in his performances.""
The 2024/25 Bayern Munich season was marked by multiple high-profile contract renewals for Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Alphonso Davies, while Leroy Sane departed to Galatasaray on a free transfer. The current focus centers on Dayot Upamecano, who has just over seven months remaining on his contract and has attracted concrete interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Upamecano has delivered consistent performances, with Vincent Kompany credited for improving his form since 2021. Bayern and the defender remain apart on salary and signing-bonus terms. Club president Herbert Hainer expressed optimism, but Bayern will likely need to enhance their offer to retain Upamecano.
