"Everyone is waiting for his commitment, his signature. His contract is ready. But Bayern Munich will not improve their offer," Plettenberg told Sky Sports News. "Upamecano can sign it, [taking him until] 2030 or 2031. There's a release clause included from the summer of 2027. He can earn 20m Euros gross per year and receive a big signing feed, together with his agent. "But Bayern is waiting for weeks, they want a decision soon."

After a long hesitation, Bayern have decided to grant Dayot Upamecano his wish of a €65m release clause that can be activated from summer 2027. The extension is now a matter of time. But the release clause doesn't necessarily mean that Upamecano is planning to leave after one year. It merely provides him security that he has a fixed option if he wants to take on a new challenge

"He is one of the best central defenders we have in Germany," Matthäus said (as captured by Goal). "I think it depends a lot on (Dayot) Upamecano. If Upamecano stays, then it will be very difficult for Nico Schlotterbeck to become a regular player at Bayern. But we are not there yet. I don't know what Nico is planning."

That's a goal of mine. But when you play with Harry Kane, scoring goals isn't something you think about too much,

I'm even surprised by the question. From the outside, people think I'm shy, that I don't talk much. It's probably because I've spoken publicly about my stutter. But people who know me will tell you. I can talk, of course. It's impossible to play for Bayern without talking. Otherwise, my teammates will say to me, 'You're a center-back and you can't even say, 'Is the ball coming?' - Kimmich would tell me straight away.
