Bayern Push Contract Talks as Reports Link Upamecano to Real Madrid on Verbal Deal

Bayern are negotiating with outside interest growing ahead of the January pre-contract window.

Overview

  • Sporting director Max Eberl said Bayern are working on a new deal for Dayot Upamecano and called outside approaches to his agents normal.
  • Multiple outlets citing Foot Mercato report Real Madrid have a verbal agreement with the 27-year-old for next summer, a claim not confirmed by Bayern or Madrid.
  • Upamecano’s contract runs to June 2026, allowing him to negotiate a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January if no extension is signed.
  • Reporting indicates salary and term are broadly aligned in talks, with an unresolved signing-on bonus and desired release clause holding up an agreement.
  • PSG and several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, are monitoring the situation, with some intermediaries sounding out options ahead of January.
