Bayern Sets Feb. 1 Deadline for Upamecano Contract Decision

The center-back has yet to accept a five-year package reported at up to €20 million a season, a €20 million signing bonus, plus a 2027 exit clause.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the club’s offer is only valid through Feb. 1, with Bayern expecting a near-term answer.
  • Sporting director Christoph Freund said a decision will come soon, and board member Max Eberl emphasized the club is awaiting the player’s response.
  • Reports detail the proposal as five years with potential earnings up to €20 million per year, a €20 million hand payment, and a roughly €65 million exit option in 2027.
  • Some coverage suggests the offer could be withdrawn if not accepted by the deadline, reflecting internal resolve seen in past high-profile negotiations.
  • With Upamecano’s contract up in 2026 and interest linked from PSG and Real Madrid, Bayern are assessing alternatives, including Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven at a reportedly steep fee.
