Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reports that Dayot Upamecano has approved a new Bayern Munich contract and is set to sign soon.
- Specific terms have not been made public, though Bild reports a dispute over a reported €20 million signing bonus that Upamecano’s camp wants paid in a lump sum.
- According to Bild, Bayern prefer to spread any signing fee over the contract’s duration, with the player’s representatives described as unwilling to change their stance.
- Bild’s account also links the bonus structure to concerns over any potential release clause, which remains unconfirmed in public reporting.
- Clubs previously linked to Upamecano have been informed of his decision, which CaughtOffside frames as a setback for Liverpool’s defensive plans.
