A cold shower in this transfer saga: Dayot Upamecano is set to extend his contract with Bayern for four more years with a massive salary estimated at €22 million per year — a figure PSG simply refused to match.
Upamecano could have joined PSG… if Paris had kept its former wage policy. But times have changed in the French capital. And when a player’s demands are considered excessive, the club moves on to the next target.
Bayern Secure Upamecano With Record-Level Deal
Dayot Upamecano’s new contract will be worth €22 million annually and will include a release clause set at €59.5 million, designed to decrease each season — a structure that locks in the defender while paving the way for a potential record transfer in the future.
PSG made serious inquiries about the French international but quickly backed away due to the financial demands of the deal. Internally, the Parisian club judged the overall cost of the operation to be out of line with its current wage structure.
Despite the sporting interest, Paris never intended to match Bayern’s proposed terms. Between the very high annual salary and the contractual guarantees requested, the club’s management chose to step back rather than trigger a bidding war. Munich finalized the deal without real competition at the finish line, with Upamecano committing long term while PSG closes the door on a target deemed too costly.
