Overview

• Fabrizio Romano says Bayern were close to an agreement in April, still have a proposal on the table, and remain in contact with Dayot Upamecano’s representatives.
• Sport Bild reporting, relayed by Bavarian Football Works, says money is the main issue as the defender seeks pay in line with recent renewals, moving from roughly €10m plus bonuses toward the €15–20m range.
• Bayern view an extension as a priority but are cautious about exceeding their cost‑cutting pay structure, according to the same reporting.
• Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United and PSG are monitoring the situation, with Barcelona interest also reported by Fichajes; PSG Talk adds that Hansi Flick has urged Barça to pursue the player.
• With the contract running to June 2026, Upamecano can negotiate a pre‑contract with foreign clubs from January 2026, heightening external interest if no breakthrough is reached.
