Bild: Upa has indeed been in contact with Real Madrid, but an agreement is still far away

Hupu News on November 06 There is endless news about the future of Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano. After Fussballtransfers.com reported that the 27-year-old French player had reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid, Bild dismissed the rumors as "not true".

According to reports, there was indeed contact between the player's agent and Real Madrid. However, an agreement is still "far off". Therefore, the possibility of Upamecano renewing his contract with Bayern Munich still exists. According to Bild, Bayern Munich hopes to reach an agreement before the end of the year, while Upamecano has stated that they do not mind making a final decision in 2026.

From January 1st, Upamecano will be officially allowed to negotiate with other clubs - in theory, he can even sign a contract for next season.

Transfer expert Graeme Bailey recently revealed to "TBR Football" that Premier League sources believe Upamecano will leave the team. He said Bayern Munich is "very worried that Upamecano will receive offers from other teams at the beginning of 2026 if the two sides fail to reach an agreement."

According to reports, the currently in-form centre-back is asking for a significant salary increase, a multi-million euro signing bonus, and may include a release clause in his contract. Currently, his negotiations with Bayern Munich are still ongoing.
