Overview
- Sporting director Christoph Freund described negotiations as intensive and positive, calling Upamecano a key player and saying a decision will not drag on.
- Max Eberl dismissed reports of threats or ultimatums from the player as nonsense and said he remains very confident about an extension.
- Multiple outlets report Real Madrid and PSG are ready to meet the defender’s requirements if he leaves, with some reporting a verbal understanding on personal terms with Madrid.
- Coverage says talks have stalled over financial terms and clauses, with reported salary demands around €16 million per year that Bayern are reluctant to match within their wage structure.
- Upamecano told Telefoot he could extend at Bayern but did not rule out playing with PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé, as urgency builds ahead of January 1 pre-contract eligibility.
