Overview

• Money is reported as the central issue after Dayot Upamecano resumed communication with Bayern Munich on a new deal.
• Reports indicate the centre-back earns about €10m plus roughly €2.5m in bonuses and is targeting a bracket between Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich.
• Bayern consider an extension a priority and remain optimistic, yet they are pursuing cost controls and are reluctant to match top-tier wages.
• Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are described as monitoring the situation.
• With a contract to June 30, 2026, the January 2026 window allows the player to sign a foreign pre-contract, and his representatives are said to note the sizable signing fee in Davies’s renewal.
