Bayern Accelerate Upamecano Talks as PSG Joins Real Madrid Interest

A disputed signing bonus under tighter board oversight is holding up a new deal.

Overview

  • Upamecano says money is not decisive, describing himself as happy at Bayern and in frequent dialogue with Max Eberl and Christoph Freund.
  • Sport Bild reports the signing bonus and related clauses are the central hurdles, with Bayern’s supervisory board yet to sign off on figures.
  • Goal reports PSG have joined Real Madrid in eyeing a possible free transfer next summer, with Liverpool and Inter also linked.
  • Bayern are pushing for a long-term extension potentially to 2030 or 2031 but must navigate wage-structure limits as the January pre-contract window nears.
  • The club continues to assess defensive alternatives such as Marc Guéhi and Nico Schlotterbeck while keeping the defender integral to Vincent Kompany’s plans.
