Bayern Step Up Upamecano Renewal Push as They Open Talks With Konaté’s Camp

Reports indicate negotiations point to a long-term extension worth up to €20 million gross per year.

Overview

  • Sporting director Christoph Freund said extending Dayot Upamecano is the club’s main goal and confirmed discussions are ongoing.
  • Journalist reports describe “positive talks” on a new deal potentially running to 2030 or 2031 with up to €20 million gross annually.
  • Bayern have contacted Ibrahima Konaté’s management as a potential option, with the Liverpool defender’s contract expiring next summer.
  • Konaté’s camp is also speaking with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi has been linked as another target.
  • Real Madrid maintain interest in Upamecano but would pursue a move only if his Bayern extension talks collapse, with no agreement in place.
