"There still has not been a resolution between Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano regarding a new contract, despite the center-back recently alluding to the fact that he is very happy in Munich and is delighted that the club recently extended the contract of manager Vincent Kompany. Ever since the Belgian took charge of the club, Upamecano has found a solid level of consistency that he did not necessarily have under either Thomas Tuchel or Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern."
"As things stand, Upamecano's contract with the Bundesliga champions runs through June 2026, and finances are said to be one of the major roadblocks currently standing in the way of agreeing to a new deal. He currently earns the twelfth-most at the club (roughly 10 million euros per year), which is not exactly a fair financial representation of how much he has improved season after season and how well he is currently performing."
"According to new information from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, French giants Paris Saint-Germain are seriously involved in the Upamecano case, especially if the French international does not sign an extension with Bayern and thus becomes a free agent in the summer. Plettenberg states that talks have already taken place between Upamecano's entourage and both PSG and Real Madrid, both of whom are in the market for a center-back."
"Despite the links with both PSG and Real Madrid, Bayern's front office and supervisory board remain confident that they will reach an agreement with the player and get him to sign a new deal that would keep him at the club through 2030. Board member for sport Max Eberl is spearheading the negotiation efforts along with sporting director Christoph Freund and club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen."
Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich have not agreed a new contract despite the player's stated happiness in Munich and appreciation for manager Vincent Kompany's extension. Upamecano has achieved consistency under Kompany that he lacked under Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann, started the season strongly, and scored with a header in the 6-2 win over SC Freiburg. His current contract runs until June 2026, and financial demands are a major obstacle; he earns roughly 10 million euros annually, the club's twelfth-highest salary. Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have held talks with his entourage, while Bayern's board and executives pursue a deal through 2030.
