Dayot Upamecano Transfer from FC Bayern München to Manchester United
Christian Falk has denied reports that Bayern had made progress on a new contract for Dayot Upamecano. While talks have been going on for some time and there is a kind of agreement between Bayern and Upamecano on a base salary, the signing-on bonus is a major issue. The signing fee is a problem in these talks for the player, who is going to be a free agent in the summer. The difference between what Bayern Munich want to pay and what Upamecano wants is still very, very big.
German outlet BILD reports that Manchester United are 'serious' about signing Dayot Upamecano. According to a report from BILD's Christian Falk on October 6, an important step forward has been taken in negotiations, as both sides have now appeared to reach an agreement on the base salary. However, BILD also reports that the size of the sign-on fee is a sticking point and that the partial agreement with Upamecano may not lead to a full breakthrough. The report states that FC Bayern would like to extend Upamecano's contract, which expires in the summer of 2026, but talks are currently proving difficult. BILD acknowledges interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool, but stresses that Manchester United are showing serious interest in luring Upamecano to Old Trafford.

The gap between Bayern’s offer and the player’s expectations has rendered negotiations extremely difficult.
According to Christian Falk for his CF Bayern Insider column, Manchester United are one of the clubs interested in Dayot Upamecano, and the player is understood to be on their list. Bayern have been trying for months to give Upamecano a new contract, and he will be a free agent next summer.
