Overview

• BILD’s Bayern-Insider podcast reports that Dayot Upamecano and Leon Goretzka are trending toward summer exits rather than renewals.
• Rival interest in Upamecano is cited as strong, with reports mentioning Real Madrid’s willingness to pay a €20 million signing-on fee and links to Liverpool, PSG and Chelsea.
• Serge Gnabry is said to be open to a new deal with a lower fixed salary and higher performance bonuses, though even BILD’s reporters caution that a true pay cut remains uncertain.
• Seven first-team deals expire next year: Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich, Dayot Upamecano, Raphaël Guerreiro, Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry and loan forward Nicolas Jackson.
• Reports say Jackson’s stay hinges on Bayern triggering a €65 million purchase option or reopening talks with Chelsea, heightening the need for early decisions given the squad’s limited depth.
