Overview
- Bayern have tabled a new deal worth up to €20 million gross per year, with Upamecano’s camp seeking a signing fee and release-clause protections.
- Kicker, as relayed by Goal, reports his representatives issued final terms and consider talks effectively closed unless Bayern match them.
- From January 1, the defender can agree a pre-contract with foreign clubs, with Real Madrid and PSG reported as willing to meet his demands.
- Planning guidance via Sky reporting indicates Bayern will choose either Upamecano or Nico Schlotterbeck, not both, as sporting director Christoph Freund deflected questions on Schlotterbeck.
- Upamecano has featured in 20 matches under Vincent Kompany this season, underscoring the sporting risk if negotiations drag into the pre-contract period.
