Losing a new player for free is the fear of Bayern Munich, which has sworn to no longer experience a soap opera like David Alaba, who left for Real Madrid in 2021. As we explained to you yesterday, the Bavarian club has several hot issues to manage at the start of 2026. But one is more important than all in the eyes of management. This is Dayot Upamecano.
The defender, a French international, reaches the end of his contract next June, and he arouses the desire of all the biggest European clubs, starting with PSG and Real Madrid, attracted by the player’s contractual situation. An essential element of Vincent Kompany’s eleven, Upamecano is therefore the subject of a big battle behind the scenes.
The last obstacles removed
As we revealed to you a few days ago, Bayern Munich had regained hope in this matter, by reaching a financial agreement with the Upamecano clan on the financial conditions. Only a few details remained to be resolved, but not just any details, including a release clause to be inserted. According to the latest information from Bildthe 27-year-old is close to extending his contract and the various sticking points have been resolved.
The final agreement is therefore expected during this month of January, as well as the official announcement of the player’s extension. Upamecano should therefore sign a new contract with Bayern Munich and receive up to 20 million euros per year. A real effort made by the Bavarian management, who adores the Frenchman, recruited in 2021 from RB Leipzig.
