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, as has Real Madrid. Foot Mercato reported on Tuesday that Bayern has made progress, although the deal is not yet finalized.
“One point remains to be settled”
“According to our information, Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano have agreed on all financial terms. However, one point remains to be settled regarding his release clause. The German club wants to activate it starting next summer, while Upamecano’s camp wants it included this summer.
The two sides must find common ground. Especially since, behind the scenes, PSG and Real Madrid are ready to offer him what he wants. But Bayern Munich has made significant progress on this issue.” “
Nothing is certain until there’s an official announcement, but the claims are credible, and it’s difficult to have any real hope for PSG since the beginning of this saga. We’ve seen similar cases end with contract extensions far too often (Joshua Kimmich and Mohamed Salah being the most recent examples).
Doubt creeps in about the future of a great player, big clubs are mentioned, including PSG, and ultimately, the player signs a lucrative contract. It’s all part of the media game and the negotiations. Even if it sometimes ends in a departure. Which wouldn’t necessarily be to PSG, in Upamecano’s case.
While a signing in Paris doesn’t seem entirely impossible, it’s a very remote scenario right now.”
