The French defender is yet to reach an agreement with Bayern and insists his priority remains performance, even as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League clubs prepare their approach. Upamecano promised to make the “right decision” when the time comes.
Upamecano in the spotlight
The future of the French international at Bayern has become one of the main hot topics of the next summer transfer window. The defender, who plays a key role in Vincent Kompany’s team, has not yet extended his contract, which expires this summer. Bayern are pushing for his long-term commitment, but negotiations remain open as major European clubs position themselves to take advantage of a possible free transfer.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and many other top European clubs are monitoring the situation closely. Every club knows that a defender of Upamecano’s caliber, with his age, track record and experience, available for free, represents a golden opportunity on the transfer market.
Interviewed by L’Équipe, Upamecano addressed the situation head on, explaining that he is aware of the interest shown, but that contract negotiations are managed by those around him.
“My agent is taking care of it. We will make the right decision. I get good advice. I am focused on this season and on my goals, both with the club and with the national team. I don’t have the mind for that,” he said.
“Under contract with Bayern” – The defender remains calm
Upamecano remained consistent in his speech, emphasizing his current commitment while keeping all options open. He stressed that his priority is performance rather than negotiations. At the same time, he recognized the importance of external interest. “ I am perfectly relaxed. I am under contract with FC Bayern. I have goals. But I am very grateful when clubs are interested in me. »
His agent, Moussa Sissoko, is renowned in the industry for being a formidable negotiator and for his close links with PSG, which further complicates the situation. Sissoko also represents renowned players like Ousmane Dembélé. Upamecano’s choice to bring in Sissoko after changing agents several times suggests he deliberately chose to negotiate what could be the most important contract of his career.
