Bayern Munich Ready to Spend €100 Million to Keep Upamecano from Real Madrid

The German champions plan a record offer to renew the French defender and block his potential move to the Bernabéu.

Although the transfer window is closed, Europe’s top clubs continue to plan ahead — and Bayern Munich are preparing a major move to secure the future of Dayot Upamecano.

Real Madrid has been tracking the French center-back as a possible reinforcement for Xabi Alonso’s defense. Upamecano’s contract with Bayern expires on June 30, 2026, and Los Blancos view him as a long-term successor to their aging defensive core. However, Bayern is determined not to repeat the mistake they made when David Alaba left Munich for Madrid on a free transfer.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl addressed the situation openly: “It’s normal that other clubs contact his agents — that’s part of the game. We’ve already said we want to do everything possible to close a new deal. We’re working on it.”

€100 Million to Secure His Future

According to reports, Bayern Munich is preparing a lucrative renewal offer worth €20 million gross per year over five seasons — a total of €100 million — to convince Upamecano to stay. The club sees him as essential to their defensive stability and leadership moving forward.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and general director José Ángel Sánchez are fully aware of the situation and the growing competition. The coming months are expected to be decisive in determining whether Upamecano remains in Munich or becomes the next high-profile defender to wear white at the Santiago Bernabéu.

For now, Bayern’s message is clear: they will stop at nothing to keep their star center-back from joining their biggest European rival.
