Dayot Upamecano’s contract with FC Bayern expires in the summer. Real Madrid was also considered interested, but a move to Spain seems less likely.
Where will Dayot Upamecano play from summer? This question remains open. The most likely option is FC Bayern, where he is currently under contract. But Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were also recently considered interested parties. As “The Athletic” and “ESPN” report, a move to Madrid is increasingly unlikely.
It is said that Upamecano’s financial demands are too high for the top Spanish club. “ESPN” even claims to have learned that Real Madrid has completely withdrawn from the talks. Accordingly, only PSG and FC Bayern are still in the running.
“Bild” reported in mid-December that Upamecano’s advisors were demanding an annual salary of 20 million euros. The central defender currently earns around 16 million euros. The Frenchman also wanted a hand money of 20 million.
According to “tz”, the players would also like an exit clause in the contract. From a sum of around 65 million euros, clubs should be able to draw this from the second season after extension.
