"We have already reported that Bayern have more or less agreed to cover his base salary, but the sticking point lies elsewhere. According to a report from Bild, Bayern and the player's camp are not in agreement over the signing-on fee. Alphonso Davies received an eye-catching £14.8m signing-on bonus to extend his deal, and Upamecano wants a similar fee. However, Bayern are not willing to provide that after Max Eberl was told to save money."
"Liverpool badly need a new defender in January or next summer. They retain interest in Marc Guehi despite missing out on him in the summer, but could face competition to sign him for free from a host of top clubs, including Bayern. Moreover, the Reds could lose Ibrahima Konate, who, like Upamecano, is in his final year of his contract at Anfield. Taking everything into consideration, Liverpool may be interested in exploring other players, and Upamecano could be a viable option."
Dayot Upamecano remains a consistent Bayern performer and the club wants him to stay. Bayern have largely agreed to cover his base salary, but negotiations stall over a signing-on fee. Alphonso Davies received a £14.8m bonus and Upamecano seeks a similar amount, yet Bayern resist following cost-cutting directives to Max Eberl. The defender feels at home in Munich and has delivered top-class performances under Vincent Kompany, remaining focused on the pitch. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested. Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring the situation, with Liverpool needing reinforcements and potentially losing Ibrahima Konate.
