According to Foot marketNegotiations between the German champions and the French defender have reached a standstill, with the player unimpressed by Bayern’s latest offer.
The 27-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the current season, and if a breakthrough doesn’t come soon, Upamecano could become one of the most sought-after free agents in Europe next summer.
Real Madrid and PSG are in the Dayot Upamecano race
Both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are said to have already made their intentions clear and informed the player camp that they are willing to meet his wage demands if he chooses to move on.
Liverpool have been linked with a takeover for Upamecano, who is attracting the attention of some of the world’s top clubs due to his contract situation.
The French defender has been a key figure in the club’s defensive line. However, his future is now clouded by uncertainty as Bayern management has so far failed to match the financial terms of other European clubs.
Bayern’s offer reportedly falls short of the salary structure Upamecano’s representatives are demanding, with the defender seeking a deal that reflects his status as one of Europe’s elite centre-backs.
The club, conscious of maintaining its wage balance, remains reluctant to meet these figures amid wider financial recalibrations following several high-profile signings.
Real Madrid have already verbally agreed the basics of a contract, which will put them in pole position if Upamecano becomes available on a free transfer.
Madrid’s interest comes as part of a wider strategy to strengthen their backline, with the likes of Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba facing uncertain futures.
Liverpool face stiff competition for Upamecano
In the meantime, Paris Saint-Germain is also hard at work behind the scenes. The French champions have made direct contact with Upamecano’s camp, indicating they can comfortably meet his financial expectations.
PSG view the France international as an ideal homegrown solution to strengthen their defense alongside Marquinhos and Lucas Hernández.
For now, Upamecano remains focused on Bayern’s title campaign, but the club’s hierarchy is under increasing pressure to finalize a deal before January, when the player would be legally free to negotiate pre-contract terms with foreign clubs.
