Bayern Munich are set to open talks with France defender of Guinea-Bissau descent Dayot Upamecano to extend his contract.
The defender’s current deal runs until the summer of 2026, but Bayern are eager to secure his long-term services.
Already, information gathered indicates that several top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, are keeping tabs on Upamecano.
Sources indicate that the interest from the French Ligue 1 champions is strong, and a potential move this summer cannot be ruled out.
Talks between Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich initially began weeks ago, with an extension once thought to be a formality. However, discussions have since stalled.
One key sticking point appears to be financial. The high salaries earned by teammates such as Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Joshua Kimmich have reportedly influenced Upamecano’s expectations, with the 26-year-old now seeking comparable terms.
While Bayern Munich are not ready to offer any big money, the club wants to reach a deal with the defender that both parties will be satisfied.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are also targeting some other defenders in a bid to strengthen its squad for the next football season.
