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 matter. RMC Sport confirms the information published earlier by Bild, stating that a contract extension is now very close.
“Dayot Upamecano is nearing an extension with Bayern Munich.” Negotiations are ongoing, as some details remain to be finalized, notably the release clause amount. The German club is offering him a salary of €20 million per year. PSG and Real Madrid were ready to make a bid, but without matching these figures.”
This is a credible report; this journalist is generally reliable, and it aligns with the trend in this saga. In any case, it’s the most likely outcome since the rumors began. A contract extension with a very high salary is not a surprise.
It remains to be seen how seriously PSG and Real Madrid have actually been involved in the deal, or if it was primarily a game played by agents or the media, or both, to spice up the discussions. Note that nothing is official yet, and a twist is still possible. But that would be a major surprise.
