"There have been roadblocks in negotiations between Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich over a new contract, primarily due to Upamecano's camp wanting a greater overall package than the club is willing to offer. There is also heavy interest in the French center-back from Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and several other European football giants, so his entourage has that to leverage at the negotiating table right now."
"In particular, his representatives are keen on including a release clause in a new deal estimated to be around €65m to allow buying clubs to activate said clause from the second year on the new deal should they so choose to do so, which Bayern is hesitant to do in addition to giving him a wage increase. This back and forth has raised justifiable doubts as to whether or not the towering center back wants to stay at Bayern long-term or not,"
Negotiations between Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich have stalled because Upamecano's camp wants a larger overall package than the club is prepared to offer. Several major clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, are interested, giving the player's entourage leverage. Representatives want a release clause of around €65m activatable from the second year of a new deal, which Bayern resists alongside a wage increase. The negotiation impasse raised doubts about Upamecano's long-term commitment to Bayern. A recent move to Grünwald into a house formerly occupied by Franck Ribéry and observed relocation activity could indicate intent to remain in Munich. Upamecano and his management did not respond to inquiries.
