Bayern and Upamecano "very close" to reaching a new deal last April, per Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano were very close to a contract agreement at the end of March/beginning of April.

The transfer specialist said the two parties disagreed on some minor details, and at the moment, they're still working on that.

Bayern are pushing and insisting to extend Upamecano's contract, with Vincent Kompany big fan of the player - their financial proposal is on the table.

However, a host of clubs from England, Spain and Italy are interested in signing a defender like Upamecano on a free next summer.

Meanwhile, club sporting director Max Eberl spoke to Sky Germany regarding players like Upamecano with contracts expiring next summer.

"There's nothing to announce soon. We're doing it calmly and with complete serenity. We have clear ideas on how to proceed with the players.

"We'll work quietly in the background and make an announcement when there's something to announce.

“We're asked by the media every three days, and that's legitimate,” said the 52-year-old, as the likes of Raphaël Guerreiro, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka and Manuel Neuer enter their last year.
