Bayern Munich has put contract negotiations with Dayot Upamecano on hold as he demands a higher salary to extend his contract, which ends in 2025/26. Bayern is optimistic a new contract can be signed during the season, though ongoing negotiations may be lengthy. The club is facing pressure regarding their payroll, which has increased despite intentions to lower it. Additionally, Barcelona is nearing a deal for Marcus Rashford with specific salary terms and a buy option for 2026, creating potential shifts in the transfer market.
Dayot Upamecano is demanding a significant pay rise in order to extend his Bayern contract. The Frenchman is happy in Munich and has a good relationship with Vincent Kompany but believes he deserves a salary that matches his status as one of the top 'specialists' in his position.
Bayern Munich has talked a lot about lowering its payroll, but - so far - payroll expenses have only gone up this summer. There is still time to go full Crazy Eddy and slash the salary budget, but Bayern Munich's will might be tested in the Upamecano talks.
Barcelona have sealed all the documents of Rashford deal, set to land in Spain. Understand Barça will pay €14m gross as salary coverage plus bonuses linked to appearances. Marcus takes 15% pay cut and Man Utd will not cover his salary.
Bayern Munich's summer transfer window could be heating up very soon. The dominoes are falling all around Bayern Munich and with each move, it should open up things for another.
