Contract negotiations with Dayot Upamecano remain stalled because of two key issues: the contract length (2030 versus 2031) and the timing of the release clause.

Max Eberl denied that a practical agreement exists and said the club is waiting for Upamecano's answer. Vincent Kompany emphasized ensuring the player feels comfortable and performs at his best.
