Dayot Upamecano has presented Bayern Munich with take-it-or-leave-it terms for a new contract

Dayot Upamecano has put Bayern Munich on notice, presenting them with a non-negotiable contract proposal.

The French centre-back has been seeking a new deal with the German giants, but negotiations have stalled. Upamecano’s camp has made it clear that they won’t budge on their demands, which include a signing bonus and additional clauses.

According to reports, Upamecano is seeking a salary of around €20 million gross per year, making him one of the highest-paid defenders in the world. Bayern Munich is keen on retaining the 27-year-old, but they’re not willing to meet his demands with a fight.

The club’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has emphasized their desire to keep Upamecano, but also stressed that they won’t be bullied into accepting his terms.

If Bayern Munich fails to meet Upamecano’s demands, he could leave the club on a free transfer next summer. Several top European clubs are already circling, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who are reportedly ready to meet his demands.

Upamecano’s decision will have significant implications for Bayern Munich’s defense. If he leaves, the club will need to find a replacement, with Nico Schlotterbeck and Marc Guehi being touted as potential options. However, Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund has downplayed the idea of signing Schlotterbeck, emphasizing their satisfaction with their current squad.
