Bayern Munich in turmoil: Upamecano hesitates – alternatives are available!
The Bundesliga is once again causing excitement: FC Bayern Munich has a key player in its ranks, Dayot Upamecano, who is currently playing in impressive form. The French central defender's contract runs until 2026, and those responsible at Munich would like to extend it. How ran.de Reportedly, the talks are going in a positive direction, but there are also other top clubs, such as Real Madrid, who are interested in Upamecano.
For Bayern it is clear: in order to keep their defense chief in the long term, they have to make him an offer that meets his expectations. Upamecano apparently has a gross annual salary of 20 million euros in mind as well as an exit clause in the new contract.
Alternatives just in case
If Bayern fails to keep Upamecano, the club already has some alternatives in its sights. The list includes well-known defenders who are on the market. The first example to be discussed is Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old has a contract until 2026, but Liverpool apparently already has a verbal commitment from him for the summer of 2024. However, Bayern could strike if Upamecano moves to the other club.
Then there is Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool, who at 26 also has a contract until 2026. Contacts have already been made with his representatives, but Real Madrid could also be in the draw.
Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund is another candidate. The 25-year-old defender has a contract until 2027 and Bayern have already held talks. However, Dortmund would like to extend Schlotterbeck's contract and is talking about a salary of around 10 million euros per year.
More talent in the pipeline
Talented players are also in high demand, including Ousmane Diomande from Sporting Lisbon. The 21-year-old has a transfer fee of 60 million euros and a release clause of 80 million euros. The same applies to Goncalo Inacio, also from Sporting, who is 24 years old and has a similar release clause. RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba (22) could also appear on Bayern's radar as his clause drops in the coming years.
And that's not all the names: Piero Hincapie (23), who is currently playing a combination between Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal FC, could also come back on the market in the summer. Rounding out the list is 20-year-old Eivind Helland from SK Brann Bergen, who is attracting the attention of Bayern and Borussia Dortmund.
As you can see, there is a lot of tension in the air in the football world. The next few months could be decisive for how FC Bayern's personnel policy develops!
