Upamecano Leaves Bayern Renewal Open as Club Downplays Contract Storm

Bayern says talks are constructive with a decision expected soon.

Overview

  • Speaking to Téléfoot, Dayot Upamecano said a contract extension in Munich is possible and laughed off a question about teaming up with Ousmane Dembélé.
  • Paris Saint‑Germain and Real Madrid are reported suitors, and from January 1 the defender can discuss terms elsewhere as his deal runs out this summer.
  • Sport director Christoph Freund described the negotiations as very good and not complicated, adding that the process will not drag on endlessly.
  • Freund called Upamecano a world‑class centre‑back who feels very comfortable at the club and remains very important to Bayern.
  • Media have reported steep salary and signing‑bonus demands, which Bayern characterized as turbulent coverage that does not fully reflect the talks.
