Dayot Upamecano, the 27-year-old defender for the French national team and Bayern Munich, is at the center of transfer rumors as his contract expires in June 2026. Paris Saint-Germain has been mentioned in connection with this situation. Bild now claims that the outcome is almost a done deal.
This announcement seems quite credible, even if we should always be cautious with rumors. Especially since this journalist has been wrong on a few occasions (such as with the Désiré Doué situation during the summer of 2024). But an Upamecano extension at Bayern has been the most likely outcome since the beginning of this saga.
PSG could have had a say, and the player might have been tempted by a move to the capital, but the German club also has strong arguments. This isn’t the first time Paris has been “used” in contract negotiations. It’s a game played by agents or the media, with the same result in the end. Perhaps we’ll learn more about how seriously the Parisian club was truly “in the running.”
