Upamecano’s Agreement with Real Madrid Is False; Bayern Wants to Persuade Him to Prioritize Achievements Over Money

“Dayot Upamecano has been in excellent form in Bayern’s recent matches and is one of the key players behind the team’s 16-game winning streak. There were previous rumors that he had reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. Currently, his agent has been in contact with several clubs, including Real Madrid, some English clubs, Paris Saint-Germain, and other German clubs. Although there have been meetings, no agreement has been reached so far.”

“Bayern is actively pushing for Upamecano’s contract extension. Multiple talks have been held last month and in the past three weeks, with plans to continue more discussions. To retain Upamecano, Bayern has even asked head coach Vincent Kompany, who has significant influence at the club, to persuade him, hoping he will value athletic performance more than money.”

“However, there has been no substantial progress between Upamecano and Real Madrid. The La Liga giant has other alternative targets. The White Legion plans to sign a defender next summer, but as of now, no agreement has been reached with Upamecano, while Bayern remains in active communication.”

In addition, regarding the situation of retaining Upamecano, Bayern sports director Christoph Freund said in an interview: "I am personally very confident. I have known Upamecano for a long time; he joined Salzburg at the age of 16, and I 深知 how crucial it is for him to play in a comfortable environment with a specific style. Therefore, I am optimistic about the conditions we can offer, but I cannot influence decisions that others may make."
