Upamecano Approves Bayern Extension to 2030 After Offer U-Turn

The agreement follows weeks of tense bargaining over a €20 million signing bonus, a proposed release clause.

Overview

  • Fabrizio Romano reports that Dayot Upamecano has approved a new Bayern contract and is set to sign shortly, with the deal running to 2030.
  • Florian Plettenberg reported Bayern withdrew the offer in writing before reversing course after Upamecano told the club he wanted to extend.
  • German reports say a key sticking point was a €20 million signing fee, with the player’s camp pushing for a single payment and Bayern favoring installments.
  • Outlets have cited unconfirmed figures including a salary in the €16–20 million range and a release clause around €60–65 million that could activate early in the deal.
  • The decision curtails interest from clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, who had monitored the defender in the final year of his contract.
