Club leaders frame the final offer as a step toward planning certainty.

Overview

  • According to multiple reports, Upamecano must accept or reject Bayern’s renewal proposal by mid-February, with the offer—tabled around Christmas—described as final and not subject to improvement.
  • Negotiations hinge on a reported €65 million release clause sought as early as 2027 and a package near €20 million per season plus about €20 million in signing-on money.
  • Sporting director Max Eberl says the club is waiting for the player’s answer and, per reports, has the supervisory board’s backing for a firm stance.
  • Upamecano returned to full team training after illness and is considered in Bayern’s planning for the Champions League trip to PSV Eindhoven.
  • With the defender under contract until 2026 and top clubs such as PSG and Real Madrid linked by reports, Bayern are assessing alternatives including Micky van de Ven and Nico Schlotterbeck.
