Famous journalist Romano talked about the latest details of Bayern's contract extension with team center defender Upamecano in a YouTube podcast.
Romano said:
"For Pamecano, the contract has almost been negotiated. At the end of March this year, Hupa and Bayern were very close to reaching an agreement. They had a very positive dialogue, and then there were some details that needed but were not clarified, causing the negotiations to slow down.
"It is normal for other clubs to call and try to seduce players. Therefore, several French clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, are interested in him, as are top teams in Germany and Spain, and of course there is interest from the Premier League.
"Bayern is pushing to extend his contract and will have another round of meetings with his agent soon to try to reach a new contract. But when you get into October, November, as the contract expiration date gets closer, you not only have to negotiate a new contract, but also a signing fee. The signing fee is an important part of the conversation because other teams can offer generous salaries and signing fees to bring players in for free.
"That's why for Pablo, the situation is very open, but Bayern is pushing hard for an extension. A new round of negotiations is about to take place and we will see if they can complete the extension then. "
Pamecano's contract with Bayern has entered the final year. Previously, many media reported that he requested the same signing fee as Alphonso Davies when renewing his contract, about 17 million euros, but Bayern is unwilling to spend so much money on him and plans to save money.
