What Upamecano wants to extend his Bayern contract

Dayot Upamecano is out of contract at the end of the season, and Bayern Munich are naturally keen to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

The problem for the club is that the French international is in a very strong negotiating position.

According to Abendzeitung, Upamecano is demanding a higher salary, seeing himself positioned between €15–20 million annually. 

Currently, he could earn up to €16 million per year, but only if all his performance bonuses are triggered.

The report also states that Upamecano’s current contract includes a €120 million release clause, and he is reportedly pushing for a similar clause in a new deal.

Even if Bayern meet all his demands, there is no guarantee the 26-year-old will sign a new deal, with Marca recently reporting that he has set his sights on a move to Real Madrid.
