Daily Schmankerl: Signing bonus could be issue between Bayern Munich, Dayot Upamecano; Arsenal serious about Juventus star Kenan Yildiz; Karl-Heinz Rummenigge not leaving until 'everything is in order'; and MORE!
"Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano are almost in agreement over the base salary. But the sticking point remains the signing fee. Upamecano's camp is basing the demands on the estimated €17m Alphonso Davies received when he signed a new deal - a sum that Bayern are unwilling to pay. It is hard to think that Bayern Munich will not eventually cede to this demand,"
"Arsenal remain hopeful of signing Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz in the future, Tuttosport has revealed. The Tukey international has had fine start to this season, scoring five goals in 12 appearances, and, with some of Europe's biggest clubs circling, the Serie A giants have moved quickly to try and extend his contract by another year. Yildiz, 20, is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal that will run until 2030, but Arsenal remain admirers from afar."
"The Germany national team is up once again and has two very winnable matches on its slate for the October international break against both Luxembourg and Northern Ireland. Julian Nagelsmann will not be operating with a full roster thanks to injuries and illnesses, but this should give him a chance to further make his mind up on several players who are on the bubble for the 2026 World Cup."
Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich are close to agreeing a base salary, but negotiations stall over a signing fee. Upamecano's camp benchmarks the bonus to an estimated €17 million paid to Alphonso Davies, a sum Bayern currently refuses. Budget constraints and rumors about salary restructuring continue despite expectations Bayern may eventually concede. Arsenal remain interested in Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, who has five goals in 12 appearances and may extend his contract to 2030 while attracting bigger clubs' attention. Germany faces two winnable October fixtures against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, and injuries will create opportunities to assess fringe players for 2026.
