"Manchester United are reportedly showing serious interest in Dayot Upamecano, the Bayern Munich centre-back whose contract is set to expire next summer, according to BILD. With defensive signings neglected in recent windows despite key departures, the Red Devils appear ready to address their backline deficiency by tapping into Bayern's defensive ranks. However, complications surrounding Upamecano's renewal talks and the high interest in signing the player could make it difficult for the Red Devils to complete the deal."
"The current centre-back options at Old Trafford include players like Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven. Man United are looking for a new centre-back With Maguire facing an uncertain future at the club due to interest from Saudi Arabia and Martinez dealing with fitness issues for a long time, signing a new centre-back could become the priority for the Red Devils."
"During the summer, United focused heavily on strengthening their attacking options, bringing in players such as Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, Senne Lammens and Diego Leon. Meanwhile, veterans Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans both departed when their contracts expired. United thus entered the season with thinner defensive depth than many anticipated. Upamecano's deal in Bavaria is under strain. While Bayern have agreed on a base salary with him, the sticking point is the signing-on bonus."
Manchester United are pursuing Dayot Upamecano as a potential centre-back signing because his Bayern Munich contract expires next summer and renewal talks are strained. United's defensive depth thinned after experienced departures and a summer focus on attacking recruits left the squad light at centre-back. Current options include Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven, but Maguire's possible exit and Martinez's fitness issues increase urgency. Bayern and the player disagree over the signing-on bonus, making Upamecano potentially available. Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona also show interest, creating competition for his signature.
