"Dayot Upamecano extending his contract at Bayern Munich should be a no-brainer, given he's the best of the club's bunch. This happened before the club extended Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musial, and Joshua Kimmich, and guess what? Those three got bumper contracts, and now Upa wants the same: Bayern already had an agreement in principle with Dayot Upamecano before the contract extensions of Davies, Musiala and Kimmich, but couldn't finalize a deal back then."
"Given that the 27-year-old Frenchman is just as important to the team, he certainly should be extended. The club, however, is still going on about reducing its wage bill. The rumored pay-cut for Serge Gnabry as part of his planned extension and the imminent departure of some players will free up some wages which, theoretically, will go to Upamecano's bank account."
Bayern previously reached an agreement in principle to extend Dayot Upamecano's contract but failed to finalize terms. Upamecano's salary demands have risen after the club approved lucrative deals for Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich. The 27-year-old central defender is portrayed as equally important to the team and therefore deserving of an extension. The club emphasizes reducing its wage bill as a priority. Reported measures such as a rumored pay-cut for Serge Gnabry and the imminent departures of certain players are expected to free up wages. Those freed funds are intended, at least in theory, to be allocated toward Upamecano's contract.
