Afraid of Real and PSG? Bayern tempt Upamecano with huge wages | OneFootball

FC Bayern is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to secure Dayot Upamecano at the club for the long term. The French defensive leader is highly sought after across Europe – and the Munich side must hold their own in the race for the 27-year-old against some big-name rivals.

According to transfer insider Sacha Tavolieri from Sky Sport Switzerland, Bayern are currently preparing a mega-offer to keep their key player: a new five-year contract until 2031, which would bring Upamecano an annual salary of around 20 million euros – a total package of about 100 million euros.

This would elevate the French international into the absolute salary elite on Säbener Straße – on par with Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer, and just behind the top earners Jamal Musiala (25 million) and Harry Kane (24 million).

The pressure on those responsible is high. Both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have expressed their interest in Upamecano in recent weeks. The Royals in particular are said to have the central defender on their list as a possible successor to Antonio Rüdiger or David Alaba.

Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund recently emphasized that they are closely monitoring the situation and doing everything possible to keep the player: “We know there is a big market for Dayot. But we absolutely want him to stay.”

It also remains open whether Bayern are willing to improve the signing bonus. The player’s side is reportedly demanding a signing bonus between 17 and 20 million euros – a sum that is still being discussed internally at Säbener Straße.

Negotiations progressing – but no agreement yet

A positive for Bayern: According to Tavolieri, the talks are still progressing very constructively. An agreement has not yet been reached, but progress is visible. In addition to financial appreciation, the Munich side are also hoping for the “Kompany effect”: under the Belgian coach, Upamecano has developed into one of the best central defenders in Europe.
