Bayern Munich is reportedly considering a compromise to finalize Dayot Upamecano's contract renewal. According to BILD, the Bayern board is reviewing whether to accept the defender's controversial demand.

As previously reported, Upamecano’s camp is asking for a €65m release clause, and now all eyes are on when exactly this clause would become active.

According to BILD, the 27-year-old’s side wants a release clause that allows him to leave the club in the summer of 2027 for the agreed fee. Bayern, who were previously hesitant, are now reportedly considering this possibility.

In this scenario, Upamecano could leave for a relatively low price just one year after signing a long-term extension.

One thing is clear: the era when Bayern could run a squad without any release clauses is over. Superstars Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala already have release clauses in their contracts.

According to our information, there is a high probability that a release clause will be included in Upamecano's new deal.

If the amount reaches €65m, it would secure enough funds to pursue several signings in the transfer market. And as is well known, without an extension, he could potentially leave on a free transfer.

Notably, potential replacement Nico Schlotterbeck could also become a free agent in the summer of 2027. The Borussia Dortmund and German national team defender has long been linked with Bayern Munich. However, Dortmund is pushing for an extension, and other big clubs may look to sign him after this season.
