Real Madrid secretly negotiate with Bayern star

Dayot Upamecano is at an impasse in contract renewal negotiations, thereby opening up opportunities for Real Madrid - a club that always knows how to make valuable free transfer deals.

Real Madrid make offer to Upamecano.

Bayern Munich are keen to keep Upamecano, but negotiations have stalled over a huge wage gap. The Bundesliga champions are willing to increase the player's income, but cannot meet the €20 million per season, including bonuses and add-ons, that Upamecano's representatives are demanding. Bayern's board are concerned that breaking the wage structure would have a domino effect in the dressing room.

Upamecano's team, on the other hand, are adamant that the player deserves a fair deal. His contract with Bayern runs until 2026, but if a new deal is not reached before next summer, the French centre-back will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January 2026.

That's where Real Madrid come in. According to BILD , “Los Blancos” have expressed particular interest and are even preparing an official offer, including a net salary of around 10 million euros per season, plus a significant signing bonus.

This formula is similar to what Real successfully applied with David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger - free but high-quality contracts, helping the team save on transfer budget while still increasing squad depth.

The signing of Upamecano is considered a strategic move by Real Madrid. With Alaba constantly injured and Rudiger turning 32, coach Xabi Alonso wants to have a young but experienced European central defender. At 26, Upamecano possesses speed, strength and good ball handling ability - qualities that fit the proactive defensive style that Real is building.
