<\/a>Liverpool interested in Upamecano amid stalling Bayern contract talks<\/p>\n

Liverpool are interested in Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano as the Frenchman continues to stall over a new deal at the German giants, per Sky Germany.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is waiting for his commitment, his signature. His contract is ready. But Bayern Munich will not improve their offer,” Florian Plettenberg said.<\/p>\n

“Upamecano can sign it, [taking him until] 2030 or 2031. There’s a release clause included from the summer of 2027. He can earn 20m Euros gross per year and receive a big signing feed, together with his agent.<\/p>\n

“But Bayern is waiting for weeks, they want a decision soon. My opinion is he’s waiting for Liverpool, for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

“Liverpool is interested in Upamecano, we can confirm that.”<\/p>\n
