• Upamecano’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, has reportedly pitched the French centre-back to several Premier League clubs, with Manchester United leading the interest.
• Manchester United see him as an alternative option should their pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi fall through.
• Bayern officials fear a repeat of the Leroy Sané situation if they fail to secure a renewal or orchestrate a transfer before his deal expires.
• On the field, Upamecano remains a fixture under coach Vincent Kompany, underscoring the dilemma between his sporting value and looming contractual uncertainty.
