"We have multiple stories on Upamecano's contract situation. To recap, the French defender is under contract at Bayern through the end of the season and has not signed a new deal. There have been a lot of talks behind the scenes to reach an agreement, and Bayern were confident at one point that a deal would be struck. Bayern have set a deadline for Upamecano to come to a decision, but as it stands, there has been no breakthrough."
"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. It makes sense for the German giants, as paying it in a single instalment creates the risk that Upamecano could simply leave using the release clause and also take the signing fee."
Liverpool have reportedly reached a pre-agreement to sign 20-year-old Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for £60m, with the player reportedly traveling for a medical. Dayot Upamecano remains under contract at Bayern until season's end but has not agreed a new deal. Bayern set a deadline for a decision and previously felt a deal was possible, yet no breakthrough has occurred. Salary terms between Bayern and Upamecano's camp are largely agreed, but disagreement persists over a €20m signing fee demanded as a single instalment. Bayern prefer spreading the fee across the contract to avoid financial risk from a release clause.
