German media: Bayern faces the risk of losing Pamecano, and contract renewal negotiations are deadlocked due to salary.
According to German media sport1, Bayern faces the risk of losing Pamecano, and the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties have reached a deadlock due to salary issues.
Reports indicate that Bayern defender Upamecano and his agent are no longer willing to make concessions in contract renewal negotiations. The club is currently in a passive state, and the two parties have not yet reached an agreement on salaries and bonuses. This news has caused concern among some Bayern fans, because Upamecano's departure will be a huge loss, similar to what happened when Alaba moved to Real Madrid a few years ago.
Although Upamecano is not the kind of loud and public player, he has become the core of Bayern's defense. His pace and aggressiveness fit perfectly into Kompany's tactical system, and his performance on the field has become increasingly outstanding. Now, the 26-year-old French player hopes to be rewarded financially.
According to SPORT1 reports, Upamecano hopes to significantly increase his salary. On the one hand, this is because his performance deserves higher compensation, and on the other hand, it is also because teammates such as Musiala and Davis have recently signed lucrative new contracts.
Although Bayern has been working hard to adjust their salary structure, they still pay top salaries. This has become a difficult problem to solve. For example, Sane ultimately failed to obtain a satisfactory contract and instead joined Galatasaray. Reducing player salary is a goal that Bayern's top management has emphasized many times.
Internal information shows that some people believe that a tough stance should be taken in principle. This view may also be adopted in Pamecano's case. However, extending the contract may still be the more economical option, after all, it will also cost a lot of money to find a replacement.
There are rumors that Crystal Palace's Gersch may join as a free agent, and Dortmund's Schlotterbeck has also been mentioned. However, recent examples show that the introduction of new players often comes at a high price, such as the transfer fee of Luis Dias as high as 70 million euros.
So far, Bayern executives have publicly expressed their hope to renew Upamecano's contract. The player himself has said there is no problem in the past few months and has often praised his coach. Kompany played a key role in Pamecano's development, supporting the once error-prone defender and helping him develop into a player expected to sign a top-tier contract.
If Upamecano decides to leave, which teams might he go to? There is no concrete news yet. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool are monitoring the situation. Real Madrid may also try to replace Alaba next summer, although Upamecano is not their first choice.
Starting in January, Upamecano can negotiate with other potential new owners. In any case, this contract renewal game is about to enter a critical stage.
