Dayot Upamecano currently earns up to €16m gross per year with all possible bonuses. Should he sign a new contract, €16m would become his base salary, plus other performance based add-ons. The sticking point remains the signing fee. Within the club, it is said that Upamecano has reached his current world-class level thanks to the club’s environment and support in difficult times. The Frenchman is happy at Bayern, but with Moussa Sissoko, he has an experienced agent, who is a tough negotiator and knows the market well. As things stand, Bayern’s supervisory board has not been presented with concrete figures. Bayern keep working on Upamecano’s extension, but are exploring alternatives at the same time. Marc Guéhi and Nico Schlotterbeck are the most prominent candidates. Everything depends on Upamecano’s decision, but also on the future of Kim Min-jae.
