"✅ It is TRUE: Bayern Munich have a big hope that Dayot Upamecano will sign a new contract. However, I heard that there is still yet to be a major breakthrough in contract talks. There's still a big question mark hanging over the signing fee. Alphonso Davies got a lot of money here, nearly €20m [£17.4m]. Upamecano also wants a sizeable signing fee."
"If Marc Guehi were to come to Munich, yes, the club would also have to pay a signing fee, as he's a free agent. So, this is a big ongoing discussion inside the halls of power at Säbener Straße. Upamecano is already a high salary earner for a defender in Germany. I don't know how much defenders are on at English clubs, but with €60m (including add-ons), he's already well-paid. So it's hard to add a potentially significant signing fee on top."
Bayern Munich aims to extend Dayot Upamecano's contract but negotiations have not reached a major breakthrough. A principal sticking point is a sizeable signing fee that Upamecano expects, similar to Alphonso Davies' nearly €20m payment. Marc Guehi, as a potential free-agent target, would also require a signing fee. Upamecano already earns a high salary for a defender in Germany after a €60m transfer including add-ons, which complicates adding a substantial signing bonus. Talks remain productive and Upamecano could imagine staying at the club, but the final decision depends on meeting financial demands.
