Bayern Munich Move to Secure Dayot Upamecano Amid Real Madrid Interest
Bayern Munich are reportedly making efforts to extend Dayot Upamecano’s contract as the defender enters the final year of his current deal. The French international, who turns 26 soon, has drawn significant attention from top European clubs, including Real Madrid, who view him as a potential addition to strengthen their defense next summer. With plans to phase out veterans David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger, Madrid have been monitoring several defenders across Europe, and Upamecano was among those considered.
However, Bayern appear determined to keep their key centre-back. Club president Herbert Hainer confirmed that talks are ongoing and progressing positively, suggesting that the Bundesliga champions are optimistic about reaching an agreement. Reports indicate that while Bayern may not match the financial terms offered to star full-back Alphonso Davies, both sides are engaging constructively to finalize a new deal.
This development poses a setback for Real Madrid, who had already seen their other defensive targets slip away. Arsenal’s William Saliba has committed his future to the Premier League side, while doubts persist over the feasibility of signing Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. With Upamecano potentially off the market, Madrid’s list of realistic defensive reinforcements continues to shrink.
Meanwhile, competition for Upamecano’s signature remains fierce, as Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring the situation closely. Should contract talks with Bayern stall, these clubs could enter the race. For now, though, Bayern’s proactive move suggests their intent to maintain defensive stability and ward off growing external interest in one of their most valuable assets.
