Chelsea and Liverpool Hold Talks Over Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano

Overview

• Reports say Chelsea and Liverpool have spoken with Dayot Upamecano’s representatives, with Manchester City also regarded as in the mix.
• Bayern Munich remain in contact about an extension, though progress has been limited on key financial terms.
• With his deal running to June 2026, Upamecano can negotiate a pre‑contract with clubs outside Germany from 1 January 2026.
• Interest from English clubs reflects current defensive needs at Chelsea and Liverpool, where depth and contract questions have been flagged.
• A potential free transfer next summer is viewed as attractive given the 27‑year‑old’s strong performances under Vincent Kompany and a valuation around £53 million.
