Upamecano negotiations: Then Bayern would like an answer | OneFootball

The contract issue surrounding Dayot Upamecano continues to drag on at FC Bayern – but the desire for clarity is growing internally. Although the Munich club have not issued an official ultimatum, they expect a decision from the central defender in the near future

According to Sky, Upamecano still has a final offer from FC Bayern, which is said to be ready to be signed and will not be improved upon by the club. The stance in Munich is clear: either the Frenchman accepts – or those responsible will have to adjust their plans accordingly

Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed that the ball is currently in the player’s court. „We are waiting for an answer from Upamecano,“ said the 52-year-old. Eberl did not give a specific date, but made it clear that the club would like to hear back as soon as possible. According to the report, Bayern would like a decision by the deadline day of the winter transfer period on 2 February in order to have planning certainty afterwards

Bayern remain optimistic about Upamecano

Despite the recent faltering of talks, there is still cautious optimism at Säbener Straße. According to Sky, Bayern are assuming that Upamecano will extend his contract in the foreseeable future. However, a final breakthrough has yet to be made

The word behind the scenes is that the current offer marks the club’s financial and sporting pain threshold. No further concessions are planned. Bayern bosses had already set this line internally weeks ago – also to set an example for the future salary structure

The situation is reminiscent of previous contract negotiations with top performers, in which FC Bayern also relied on patience without building up public pressure. There is no official ultimatum this time either. Nevertheless, it is clear that those responsible do not want to delay a decision indefinitely

Upamecano is a central component for Vincent Kompany in sporting terms. The coach has publicly praised the 27-year-old on several occasions and highlighted him as a key player.
