Overview

• Spanish media reports say Dayot Upamecano has been offered to Real Madrid and his agent has gauged interest for a potential move in 2026, with the club not closing the door.
• The centre-back is entering the final year of his Bayern Munich contract and would be a free agent in 2026 if no extension is agreed.
• Talks between Bayern and Upamecano’s camp have resumed after stalling earlier in the summer over what was viewed on the player side as a low offer.
• A report from Abendzeitung’s Maximilian Koch says Upamecano wants a significant salary increase into a range between Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich, as well as a release clause.
• Capology figures put his current wage at about €10 million per season, and other top clubs such as Liverpool have also been sounded out to assess market interest.
