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 transfer, along with other major European clubs. BBC Sport now reports that a resolution is taking shape.
“Positive discussions with Bayern Munich”
Bayern Munich expect Dayot Upamecano to sign a new contract, with the defender in advanced talks over committing his future to the Bundesliga side.
Premier League clubs Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with the former RB Leipzig player, while Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain are also credited with an interest.
However, it is understood the 27-year-old has held positive discussions with Bayern in recent weeks, with sources indicating the German side are now expecting the central defender to sign fresh terms.
BBC Sport has been told Bayern will remain in the market for a new centre-back for next season even if Upamecano signs a new deal.”
We remain cautious; this is just a rumor and not an official announcement. However, this has been the prevailing trend in this saga from the beginning. Bayern Munich have recently shown great confidence, and one player seems to be thriving within the team.
It’s also worth noting that PSG have been involved in numerous similar cases involving contract extensions. This is part of the media frenzy and the negotiations. A recent example is Joshua Kimmich (the 30-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder/full-back). A surprise move isn’t out of the question, but a move to PSG seems highly unlikely. Especially since leaving Bayern opens up other possibilities, not just in Paris.
