Bayern sporting director Max Eberl is trying to persuade Dayot Upamecano to sign a new contract rather than leave on a free next summer, with Real Madrid, Liverpool and PSG monitoring the 27-year-old defender’s situation ahead of potential negotiations from January. Eberl says Bayern have made a strong offer but insists the decision must be about the “overall package” and not just money, calling Upamecano one of the world’s best centre-backs and describing an extension as an “internal king transfer”, while the player remains non-committal in public.

Real Madrid probe Upamecano free for 2026

Madrid opened preliminary discussions to sign Upamecano as a 2026 free agent if Bayern talks fail. With David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger nearing contract crossroads, Madrid are positioning a cost-efficient successor with Champions League pedigree and French-core chemistry. Bayern have offered an extension, but negotiations stalled. Madrid’s recruitment model favors prime-age, fee-light additions who fit a high line and progressive build. Upamecano’s improved error profile under Vincent Kompany strengthens his case while alternatives like Marc Guéhi fade over wage/sign-on costs.

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.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports Liverpool plan moderate business after record-breaking 2024 spending, while Bayern could swap players with Juventus, who are pursuing Raphaël Guerreiro and Josip Stanisic. Squad balancing will dictate which deals materialize first.

Bayern Munich have revived contract talks with Dayot Upamecano, fearing Real Madrid could sign him on a free when his current deal ends in 2026. Negotiations stalled earlier this year, prompting Bayern directors to schedule fresh meetings with his representatives. Bayern are wary after losing Leroy Sane for free and David Alaba to Madrid in 2021.
