"Dayot Upamecano wants to significantly improve his financial situation. His agent had already told Bayern that early on. The situation is still unchanged from a few months ago. It's about salary, signing-on fee, and a release clause. Upamecano's camp points to the contracts other players (Musiala, Davies, Kimmich) received, and sees the Frenchman in a similar category as them. Bayern, on the other hand, want to continue to cut costs, that's why the situation is currently at a standstill."
"Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently discussed the topic of salaries and said: 'You have to say the word 'no' sometimes.' Behind the scenes, there are strong voices within the club who, out of principle, want to make a statement and simply refuse to give in to the demands. That's why Upamecano and his camp shouldn't be too confident that they will end up getting what they want."
Dayot Upamecano wants a significantly improved contract, targeting salary increases, a signing-on fee, and a release clause. His agent informed Bayern of these demands early on. Negotiations remain stalled and unchanged for months. Upamecano's camp compares his desired package to the contracts awarded to Musiala, Davies, and Kimmich, viewing him in a similar category. Bayern is pursuing cost-cutting measures and has declined to meet the demands so far. Club leadership includes strong voices intent on making a principle-based stand and refusing concessions. Those club positions reduce the likelihood that Upamecano will secure the terms he seeks.
