"Bayern Munich have been locked in contract talks with Dayot Upamecano since the second half of last season. The French defender has entered the last year of his contract, which has led to interest in him from top clubs across Europe. Upamecano feels settled in Munich. He has been the standout defender for Vincent Kompany in the last 18 months. He is one of the first names on the teamsheet for the Belgian coach at Bayern."
"The wages are reportedly a stumbling block in negotiations between Upamecano and Bayern. The latest report in Germany suggests Bayern are looking to take special effort to kickstart contract talks. According to the Bayern Insider podcast of SportBild (via GGFN), Bayern are ready to insert a release clause in the new deal for Upamecano. The French center-back wants to play in the Premier League one day, so a release clause may help him to secure a move to England in the future."
Dayot Upamecano entered the final year of his Bayern contract after talks that began in the second half of last season. He is settled in Munich and has been a standout defender for Vincent Kompany, starting under the Belgian coach. Negotiations have stalled, with wages reportedly the main stumbling block. Bayern are prepared to add a release clause to a new deal, which could facilitate a future move to the Premier League. Upamecano can speak to clubs in January about a free transfer for the summer, with Liverpool and Real Madrid among the clubs linked. Bayern face a need to resolve his future and are evaluating centre-back options as contingency.
