Summary
- Bayern Munich is pressuring Dayot Upamecano to sign a new contract.

- Real Madrid is reportedly waiting for an offer from the player.
Real Madrid's constant transfer speculation includes a potential move for Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano. Although contract talks between Upamecano and Bayern were ongoing, recent reports suggest a shift in dynamics.
German journalist Florian Plettenberg indicates that Bayern is significantly increasing pressure on the French international and his representatives. Club directors reportedly have permission to withdraw their contract offer if he fails to sign within the week.
Internally, Bayern believes they have presented an excellent offer, and time has expired. There's a growing assumption the player is awaiting an offer from Real Madrid, a club actively seeking defensive reinforcements due to current player availability issues.
Upamecano's development under Vincent Kompany has been notable, showcasing skills beneficial for Real Madrid's build-up play and defensive transitions, particularly in managing large spaces – a frequent necessity for Bayern.
