Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich)
October 2025
Bayern Munich are set to hold final contract talks with Dayot Upamecano as negotiations stall over salary demands. The defender, whose deal runs until 2026, wants a raise to match Alphonso Davies’ earnings amid interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
Sporting director Max Eberl leads efforts to close the deal before the winter break, but Bayern are hesitant to break wage structure limits. Upamecano’s form under Vincent Kompany has been excellent, ranking among team leaders in tackles and passing. Failure to agree terms may force Bayern to consider a summer sale to avoid losing him for free.
