Bayern Close to Upamecano Extension as Release-Clause Timing Becomes Last Hurdle

Overview

• Bayern and Dayot Upamecano have an agreement in principle on salary, bonuses, and a signing-on package, according to multiple reports.
• The remaining dispute centers on the clause’s start date, with the player pushing for the first year of the new deal (2027) and Bayern preferring the second (2028).
• Several outlets report a clause value near €65 million, and Bayern are weighing a concession to a 2027 activation to close the deal.
• PSG and Real Madrid are tracking the situation and are reported to be ready to meet the defender’s terms if an opportunity arises, though an extension would greatly reduce their chances for 2026.
• Upamecano is contracted through the 2025–26 season, adding urgency for Bayern to finalise the extension before January approaches.
