Bayern Say Upamecano Extension Is Days Away
Club leaders signal a near-final agreement after tense talks, leaving reported financial terms unverified.
Overview
- Sport boss Max Eberl said the talks are very close, and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen called the signing a matter of days.
- Coverage describes a protracted negotiation shaped by outside interest from top clubs and a briefly withdrawn offer earlier in the process.
- Reports outline an unconfirmed package with a €20m signing fee, about €20m in annual wages, and a €65m release clause from 2027 in a deal running to 2030.
- Upamecano started in Bayern’s 5-1 win over Hoffenheim and remains central to the defense alongside Jonathan Tah.
- Sport Bild, via Bavarian Football Works, suggests the extension could reduce Bayern’s need to pursue Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck.
