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 and Real Madrid have been mentioned in connection with this situation. However, in recent hours, there has been talk of a contract extension with Bayern. L’Equipe and Le Parisien confirmed this on Thursday.
L’Equipe:
“Despite numerous offers, French defender Dayot Upamecano, whose current contract expires in June, will sign a new long-term deal with Bayern Munich. This new contract is expected to run until 2030 or 2031.”
Le Parisien:
“An exceptional offer”: Dayot Upamecano will extend his contract with Bayern Munich despite advances from Real Madrid and PSG.”
There is no longer any doubt; all media outlets agree on this outcome. This comes with an estimated annual salary of €20 million. A very handsome sum, for which PSG and Real Madrid may have played a role. Whether it was media manipulation or the agent’s influence, both are possible, and the latter wouldn’t be surprising.
In any case, a move to PSG seems particularly unlikely. This is unsurprising, as an extension has always been the most probable outcome in the Upamecano saga.
