"Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has entered the final few months of his deal at the club, and there's no breakthrough in negotiations as yet. The 27-year-old centre-back has been simply outstanding for the German giants this season, producing a strong centre-back partnership alongside Jonathan Tah. Bayern are confident of keeping Upamecano at the club beyond the summer, but the chances of him leaving for free cannot be completely ruled out."
"The main competition is between Bayern, Real Madrid and PSG. However, there are many signs that Bayern Munich will get a new contract for Upamecano over the line. One interesting thing to note is that the Frenchman was recently photographed moving house in Munich - I think, if you're doing this, you're probably not thinking you'll have to do it all again to a completely new city in the summer."
"Now, the problem in the negotiations, we've heard, revolves around a potential release clause in the contract (which Upamecano's side is pushing for).

Claims of serious interest from Chelsea and Manchester City appear unlikely; primary external competition comes from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Photographs suggest Upamecano is settling in Munich. Negotiations reportedly hinge on a release-clause provision that Upamecano's camp wants triggerable in the first year, which Bayern oppose.
