Report: Dayot Upamecano won't extend with Bayern Munich without release clause

"There's an agreement in principle regarding the base salary, bonuses and signing fee between Bayern and Dayot Upamecano. The remaining sticking point is the release clause. Bayern are aware that Upamecano will only extend with a release clause. The club wants it to be valid from the second year of the new contract (from 2028), while the player's camp wants the clause to be valid earlier. An extension remains the most likely outcome."

An agreement in principle covers Dayot Upamecano's base salary, bonuses, and signing fee with Bayern. The only unresolved issue is the timing of a release clause. Bayern wants the release clause to be effective from the second year of the new contract, beginning in 2028. Upamecano's camp wants the release clause to be valid earlier in the contract. Upamecano will only agree to an extension if a release clause is included. Given the progress on financial terms, a contract extension remains the most likely outcome.
