Bayern Munich Get Huge Update on PSG, Real Madrid-Linked Star

PSG have stayed consistent with a recruitment vision centered on top French players, a focus that has been clear across recent transfer windows. Moves for Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, and Lucas Chevalier reflect a long-term plan rather than short-term fixes.

That same philosophy is shaping the club’s thinking as attention turns to reinforcing the defense. Liverpool center back Ibrahima Konate has been discussed internally, while PSG are also weighing other elite options at the position.

One name drawing serious interest is Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano. Fabrizio Romano reports that PSG are tracking the situation closely, particularly with Upamecano under contract through the 2025-26 season.

According to Foot Mercato reporter Santi Aouna, Dayot Upamecano is close to reaching a contract extension with Bayern Munich. Talks are nearly complete, with only one outstanding point remaining regarding the release clause.

Meanwhile, PSG and Real Madrid continue to monitor the situation and are prepared to meet the defender’s expectations if an opportunity arises.

This news follows Sport Bild’s report that Bayern Munich and Upamecano have reached an agreement in principle. The deal includes the defender’s base salary, performance-related bonuses, and a signing bonus, with the remaining point of discussion focused on the release clause in the proposed contract.

Bayern Munich want that clause to become active in the second year of the deal, starting in 2028, while Upamecano would prefer it to take effect earlier. Even so, an extension is considered very likely, which would all but end PSG’s hopes in this case.
