"A main point of disagreement between Bayern and Dayot Upamecano's camp is about the signing fee. The player's representatives are demanding around €20m in one instalment. Bayern, on the other hand, want to spread it over the duration of the new contract and pay it out in several instalments. From the club's point of view, paying it outright would mean Upamecano can just leave using the release clause and take the entire signing fee - Bayern consider that unacceptable."

Bayern and Dayot Upamecano's representatives are at odds over the structure of a roughly €20m signing fee. The player's camp demands the fee as a single upfront instalment. Bayern prefers to amortise the payment across the new contract and distribute it in multiple instalments. The club fears an outright payment would allow Upamecano to trigger the release clause and depart while keeping the full fee, which Bayern finds unacceptable. The player's representatives remain firm on the lump-sum demand and are currently unwilling to alter their position, creating an impasse in negotiations.
