Bayern Put Contract Offer to Upamecano as Talks Hinge on Signing Bonus

The defender now weighs Bayern's proposal ahead of a January window that boosts his leverage.

Overview

  • Bayern have presented a new proposal to Dayot Upamecano, with the next move viewed as the player's decision, according to reporting relayed by Frankfurter Rundschau.
  • Negotiations spanned months and were close between late March and early April before stalling over remaining details.
  • The central sticking point is a hefty signing bonus, with reports indicating Upamecano’s camp is benchmarking Alphonso Davies’ roughly €17 million payment, while base-salary terms are largely aligned.
  • Sporting director Max Eberl says the club wants to keep the defender and will handle talks quietly, as coach Vincent Kompany is a strong supporter.
  • Upamecano’s deal runs to 2026, allowing him to speak with other clubs from January, and interest has been reported from Liverpool, PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
