Bayern Munich aims for a quick renewal as Real Madrid circles Dayot Upamecano

Upamecano contract talks intensify as Bayern push to renew

The Bavarian giant is determined to seal Dayot Upamecano’s future as Bayern Munich confirms ongoing, constructive negotiations with the French defender to extend his contract beyond this season.

With Real Madrid among the suitors eyeing a potential summer move, Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund says the discussions are serious but not complicated, and the player remains a central figure for the club.

Freund emphasized that Upamecano is a world class defender in peak form, a key piece for the team's defense, and that both sides are in intensive talks with a clear path toward a decision.

He added that renewal timing doesn't matter as long as the deal gets done, noting the player's comfort within the squad and with the coach.

In a separate note, Bayern Munich hosted Mainz in the Bundesliga as the club looks ahead to the next fixtures, reinforcing the sense of stability around the camp as the contract talks continue.
