Bayern Munich is willing to run the risk of letting Dayot Upamecano walk for free
Briefly

Bayern Munich is facing criticism for its management of player contracts, particularly regarding defender Dayot Upamecano. The club plans to enter the final year of his contract without reaching an agreement, risking his departure as a free agent in 2026. Despite Upamecano being a standout performer, the club seems hesitant to extend his contract. Additionally, Bayern’s interest in Jonathan Tah while bypassing Eric Dier, who could be a strong addition, raises questions about their recruitment strategy and age policies.
Bayern Munich has its flaws despite being a massive institution. One of the more prominent ones is following risky business in terms of their players' contract situations.
As things stand, Bayern have no intention of selling Dayot Upamecano this summer, even if no agreement is reached, risking a potential free transfer in 2026.
Extending the 26-year-old Frenchman should be a no-brainer, but for some reason the Rekordmeister almost always wants the hard way of doing things.
Why is Bayern even targeting Jonathan Tah and overpaying for him? They had Eric Dier who is miles clear of the Leverkusen center back, yet won't break their policy for players over the age of 30.
