"It probably should have been considered more of an ominous sign when Dayot Upamecano called off talks with Bayern Munich during the summer. At the time, it just seemed like Upamecano wanted a chance to take a break from the grind of contract negotiations and wanted to put his focus on preparing for what was definitely going to be a grueling 2025/26 campaign."
"In the last two weeks, Liverpool, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid have all been linked to Upamecano and, aside of Inter Milan, each club could conceivably offer Upamecano more money, while also meeting his demands for a signing bonus and a release clause. Simply put, Upamecano inking a contract extension with Bayern Munich might not be a certainty."
"On Thursday, Upamecano bolstered his value once again with star performance against Ukraine in a 4-0 victory for France, which led to this nifty stat: Dayot Upamecano has achieved 18 clean sheets in his last 23 matches with Les Bleus. #FRAUKR"
Dayot Upamecano paused contract talks with Bayern Munich during the summer, creating uncertainty around his future at the club. The negotiation hiatus attracted interest from elite teams, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid all linked as potential suitors. Most of those clubs could offer higher wages and meet demands for a signing bonus and release clause, increasing the likelihood of departure. Upamecano boosted his transfer value with a standout performance in France’s 4-0 win over Ukraine, and he has recorded 18 clean sheets in his last 23 appearances for Les Bleus. Contract extension is not guaranteed.
