Upamecano Talks Future Amid Bayern Contract Discussions

Dayot Upamecano has spoken about how happy he is at Bayern Munich. He confirmed that he is having contract talks with the club, while top European sides continue to monitor his situation. Bayern Munich wants Dayot Upamecano to stay for a long time.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Upamecano said in a recent interview that he feels comfortable and happy with Bayern Munich. He said his agent is negotiating with the club’s officials. The center-back’s contract expires in the summer of 2026. Bayern’s leaders have publicly stated that they want to extend the Frenchman’s contract. Sporting director Max Eberl recently said that extending Upamecano’s contract is “definitely an objective” for the club. Contract talks are taking place to renew Dayot Upamecano‘s contract, which currently runs out in summer 2026. Upamecano joined Bayern in 2021. He has made over 150 appearances and has become the cornerstone of their defense. He played a big role in the team’s strong 2024/25 campaign, when Bayern secured the Bundesliga title and the defense allowed the fewest goals in the league.

BAYERN’S SEASON AND THE EUROPEAN INTEREST

Bayern’s 2024/25 season ended with them winning the Bundesliga title. They finished thirteen points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. Upamecano appeared in 30 league matches, scoring twice and providing a strong defensive presence. He played well in critical matches. His high level of performance has attracted interest from several European giants. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are reportedly following the situation. Upamecano’s current contract is nearing the last year. While the player has said he wants to stay, failure to secure a new agreement could encourage interested clubs to try to sign him if talks stall.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR UPAMECANO AND BAYERN?

Bayern are preparing for the new season. Their next official game is the return to the Bundesliga against Hoffenheim, after beating Chelsea for the Champions League last week. Hoffenheim are currently 6th after battling against relegation last season and will want to stop Bayern’s 100% winning record so far this season. Bayern are focusing on securing Upamecano’s contract before the start of the season to avoid uncertainty. If no agreement is reached soon, rumors about a possible move abroad will likely increase. Upamecano’s camp will continue talks while fans wait for clarity on the defender’s long-term future with the club.
