"Bayern and Upamecano's camp have largely agreed on the salary packages. However, they are not aligned on the signing fee. The defender's camp have been demanding around €20m in one instalment. They have been pointing towards that figure for a long time. Bayern are ready to pay the amount, but they want to spread it over the proposed contract term and pay in several instalments."
"The 27-year-old centre-back has been outstanding this season under Vincent Kompany, and Bayern were determined to keep him at the club beyond the end of his current contract. Florian Plettenberg confirmed that Liverpool are interested in Upamecano, as they probably see him as an ideal replacement for Ibrahima Konate, who will become a free agent next summer. The Reds received a potential transfer boost after reports emerged that Upamecano's camp and Bayern differ in the distribution of the signing fee."
"Christian Falk told CFBayern that Bayern withdrew their offer for Upamecano in writing today after getting frustrated with Upamecano's approach to the matter. The club had set a deadline and wanted a final decision by today, so the offer was no longer on the table. The defender never wanted to leave the club, and he was simply caught in the middle of a power struggle. Bayern will now allow Upamecano to sign a new deal."
Dayot Upamecano has accepted Bayern Munich's offer and is expected to sign a contract extension through 2030, with formalities likely next week. The 27-year-old centre-back has performed strongly this season under Vincent Kompany, prompting Bayern to pursue a renewal beyond his current end-of-season deal. Liverpool expressed interest as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate, adding transfer attention. Negotiations stalled over a signing-fee payment structure: Upamecano's camp sought around €20m in a single instalment, while Bayern preferred to spread the payment across the contract term. Bayern briefly withdrew their written offer after a deadline, then agreed to allow a new deal.
