"After an extremely strong start to the 2025/26 campaign, Bayern Munich are eager to extend Dayot Upamecano's contract. However, talks between the player and the club have reached an impasse as the Frenchman and his agent are, at this point, unwilling to budge from their contract demands. The dead end has encouraged interest from defending Premier League champions, Liverpool. There has also been a long standing interest from Real Madrid."
"Regarding the contract talks with Upamecano, Bayern want to take things easy for now and not put too much pressure on the club. Based on their experience in recent negotiations with other key players, they are confident enough that ultimately an agreement will be reached. The appreciation is there from both sides - Bayern have no doubts over Upamecano's abilities, and the player knows what he has at FC Bayern. The winter break could be the ideal time for things to get really concrete"
After a very strong start to the 2025/26 season, Bayern Munich want to extend Dayot Upamecano's contract but talks have stalled because the player and his agent are unwilling to lower their demands. The impasse has drawn interest from Liverpool and renewed long-term interest from Real Madrid, yet Bayern remain confident they can secure a long-term deal. Bayern plan to avoid pressure and take negotiations slowly, relying on recent successful extensions of key players such as Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala as precedent. Upamecano is considered central to Kompany's tactical approach, and winter break negotiations could produce concrete progress.
