Bayern Munich have yet to agree a new deal with Upamecano, whose contract expires at the end of the season

Contract Situation and Transfer Prospects

Dayot Upamecano’s future at Bayern Munich remains shrouded in doubt as he enters the final months of his current contract. With negotiations ongoing, the German side have yet to satisfy the defender’s financial requirements for a new deal. In just over a fortnight, the French international will legally be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with a different club, allowing for a potential free transfer upon the expiry of his terms.

Interest from European Giants

The race for Upamecano’s signature is intensifying, with Real Madrid reportedly having already reached a verbal agreement with the 27-year-old, according to Foot Mercato. At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain are closely monitoring the situation and, like Real Madrid, are believed to be capable of meeting his salary expectations. The possibility of linking up with fellow French international Ousmane Dembélé at PSG has not been dismissed, as evidenced by Upamecano’s brief response to Téléfoot: “Why not?”

What Lies Ahead

As clubs prepare for the opening of the transfer window, the coming weeks are set to be pivotal for Upamecano. From 1st January, he will have the option to sign on a free transfer with any club that can fulfil his demands, putting the pressure squarely on Bayern Munich if they wish to retain his services.
