Bayern Munich set deadline for Dayot Upamecano to extend contract
"Dayot Upamecano is likely to return to action for Bayern Munich in midweek during the Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven. The French defender missed the last few games due to illness, but he is now back to full fitness and has completed his training ahead of the match. While his potential return to the starting line-up would be a huge boost for Vincent Kompany, his lack of response to contract talks remains a major worry."
"This is the big question on Bayern bosses' minds at the moment: is there something that they don't know? Before Christmas, they had the final talks, and everyone was fine going into the new year after so much in the way of negotiations. But they don't have any idea what's happening now. This is the last offer Bayern will give Upamecano; he's going to get a lot of money and the release clause he wanted. So, the club is thinking, "What more do you want? We're not going to increase the offer. Why are you waiting?" That's why, as I say, they're getting a little nervous. I talked with Dayot Upamecano himself, and I think he's quite confident about this deal getting done. So, perhaps the agents aren't quite so confident at the moment. I'm not quite sure"
Dayot Upamecano has recovered from illness and completed training, making a likely midweek return for Bayern Munich in the Champions League. His availability would boost Vincent Kompany's defensive options. Upamecano has only months remaining on his current contract and has not signed an extension. Bayern have reportedly placed a very good final offer that includes the release clause he sought and substantial pay. Upamecano has not responded to the proposal, prompting nervousness among club executives and questions about the agents' handling of the negotiations and the expected timeline for a decision.
