"The winter transfer window for Bayern Munich is going to be dominated by the contract talks with Dayot Upamecano. The French defender has six months left on his current deal. With Real Madrid cooling their interest, Paris Saint-Germain remain the prime suitor for Upamecano if he decides against signing a new deal. Bayern are cautiously optimistic about sealing a new contract for Upamecano. However, a deal is not done until the French defender signs the paper."
"According to Bild, Bayern are ready to give a concession on the timing of the release clause in Upamecano's new deal. The French defender's representatives want a release clause worth €65 million inserted in his new contract. The main point of contention between both parties is about the time when this clause comes into effect. Die Roten want this clause to be active later in the deal, while Upamecano's agents want it to be active from 2027."
Dayot Upamecano has six months remaining on his Bayern Munich contract, with Paris Saint-Germain positioned as the main alternative if he declines a renewal. Bayern are cautiously optimistic and are actively trying to convince him to stay in Munich. Talks have reportedly reached agreement in principle on financial terms. Bayern are prepared to accept a €65 million release clause that becomes active from 2027 to expedite a deal. Prioritising Upamecano's extension has lessened Bayern's pursuit of Nico Schlotterbeck, though the club could still pursue a central defender in the summer if Kim Min-jae departs following reduced playing time.
