Dayot Upamecano has been warned by Bayern Munich that their contract offer will remain on the table for only a matter of weeks – not months – as pressure grows on the defender to make a decision, amid strong links to Liverpool amongst other clubs, TEAMtalk understands.
Bayern are adamant the proposal will not be improved, and the 27‑year‑old has been told the club will move on if he does not commit in the coming weeks.
Upamecano is weighing up his options carefully, and he is fully aware of what is available to him.
Our sources can reveal that talks have already taken place with several major clubs outside Germany – discussions he is entitled to hold given his contract situation.
We can confirm that Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan have all spoken to Upamecano’s camp, with prospective terms outlined as part of exploratory conversations.
Sources close to the situation have told us that, while Bayern remain confident a new deal can be agreed, there is genuine concern inside the club about the level of interest being shown – particularly from England, where financial packages could rival or even surpass what Bayern have put forward.
