"Dayot Upamecano is not close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich, and the news should come as a big boost for Liverpool. The Reds are one of the clubs showing keen interest in signing Upamecano, whose contract at the German club is set to expire at the end of the season. Along with Liverpool, Premier League rivals Manchester United are also reportedly keen to sign the 26-year-old centre-back as a free agent next summer."
"It is NOT TRUE: Dayot Upamecano made an important step forward in contract talks with Bayern Munich. We have to say these talks have been going on for over a year. There is a kind of agreement between Bayern and Upamecano about a base salary, as he's going to be a free agent in the summer, but there is always a signing fee! And the signing fee is a problem in these talks."
Dayot Upamecano is not close to signing a new contract with Bayern Munich and could leave as a free agent next summer. Liverpool and Manchester United are keen to sign the 26-year-old centre-back. Liverpool needs defensive reinforcements after Giovanni Leoni's ACL injury and due to Joe Gomez's recurring fitness problems; Ibrahima Konaté's contract also expires at season's end. Bayern has agreed on a base salary with Upamecano but is unwilling to meet his high signing-on fee because of cost-cutting. The signing fee remains the primary obstacle, with Alphonso Davies' prior negotiation cited as precedent.
