Decision imminent: Bayern present contract offer to Upamecano! | OneFootball

Dayot Upamecano was apparently close to extending his contract with FC Bayern at the beginning of the year. Now, according to a newly surfaced report, the Munich club is once again getting serious about the French international.

For some time now, Bayern has been in talks with Dayot Upamecano's camp regarding a contract extension. The French international's current contract runs until 2026. So far, however, the two parties have not been able to agree on a new deal. Apparently, there was already a near-extension of the contract in the past.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano now reports that between the end of March and the beginning of April, an agreement between Bayern and Upamecano was close. However, some details were still being discussed, and work is still ongoing. According to reports, FC Bayern is pushing to extend Upamecano's contract, as Vincent Kompany is a big fan of the player—the financial offer is reportedly already on the table.

According to Romano, many clubs from England, Spain, and Italy are interested in signing a defender like Upamecano on a free transfer next summer. The decision now lies with the player.

Other reports have recently indicated that the center-back's financial demands are simply too high for the German record champions. The 26-year-old is said to be demanding a large signing bonus in the event of a contract extension. Whether Bayern can reach an agreement with Upamecano's camp remains unclear at this point.

It seems quite possible that talks could drag on for months. This was also the case with Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Joshua Kimmich. In the end, all three key players extended their contracts on a long-term basis.
