The deal is getting closer. Bayern and Upamecano near contract extension

Dayot Upamecano is currently sidelined with an injury, but prior to that, he was a pivotal figure in Bayern Munich's defensive setup. The club's management is eager to continue their partnership with the centre-back.

Details: According to Florian Plettenberg, negotiations have made significant progress and the two parties appear to be closing in on a new agreement. The contract is expected to run until the summer of 2030. Only a few minor details remain to be ironed out, but both sides are determined to carry on working together.

Earlier reports indicated that one of the main contenders for centre-back Jonathan Tah—Barcelona—had put their transfer plans for next season on hold, which led to frustration on the German's part. Now, Bayern is making positive moves towards signing Tah.

Reminder: Bayern have no intention of budging on Leroy Sané's salary demands. The player's camp is willing to sign a new contract and is even open to a pay cut.
