Overview
- Upamecano's contract expires next summer, with months of negotiations between his agent Moussa Dembélé and Bayern still unresolved.
- A report from Foot Mercato claiming an agreement with Real Madrid remains unconfirmed, with Bild and other outlets saying there is contact but no deal.
- The main hurdle is financial, particularly a substantial signing fee request that conflicts with Max Eberl’s push for stricter compensation after costly renewals.
- Media cite a current salary near €16 million per year, and both parties still view a renewal as possible despite the gap.
- A decision is expected before the end of the year, after which he can speak freely with foreign clubs from January, as his strong form under Vincent Kompany reinforces his importance to Bayern.
