Upamecano’s Bayern Extension Stalls Over Signing Bonus as €16 Million Wage Sought

Overview

• Reporting in Germany indicates the salary is largely aligned at about €16 million per season, with the signing bonus cited as the principal stumbling block.
• Talks are described as at an impasse as Dayot Upamecano and agent Moussa Sissoko hold firm on compensation terms.
• Bayern are working on a renewal but are also evaluating centre-back options such as Marc Guéhi and Nico Schlotterbeck, with no concrete figures yet before the supervisory board.
• Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid are credited with interest should the defender’s situation remain unresolved.
• Upamecano is in the final year of his deal expiring in 2026, allowing him to sign a pre-contract with foreign clubs in January if no agreement is reached.
