Report: Man United on alert as Bayern Munich contract talks with star player stall

Wait 5 sec.

Manchester United’s impressive summer recruitment drive may not be over yet, with the club keeping a close watch on Dayot Upamecano’s situation at Bayern Munich.The French centre-back, widely regarded as one of the Bundesliga’s elite defenders, has caught the attention of the Premier League giants.The French defender has moved into the final year of his contract at Allianz Arena and with currently no signs of a new deal with the German club, he has become the subject of attention from Man United, according to information provided by Christian Falk to CFBayern.Dayot Upamecano faces uncertain future at Bayern MunichBayern are eager to tie him down to fresh terms but negotiations have hit a standstill, creating a window of opportunity that the Premier League giants may look to exploit.Ruben Amorim, who has already overhauled his attacking department by bringing in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, is now keen to strengthen the back line ahead of the new season.Although the Red Devils have depth in the central defensive department due to the presence of players like Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Ayden Heaven, they could still be open to the opportunity of signing Upamecano due to his quality and experience.For Bayern, the situation is becoming increasingly frustrating. Talks over a renewal have been dragging on, and the German champions are wary of a repeat of the Leroy Sane saga, where prolonged uncertainty risked unsettling both player and club.More Stories / Latest NewsReport: Man United on alert as Bayern Munich contract talks with star player stallAug 13 2025, 8:25Manchester City’s plan involving Alexander Isak revealedAug 13 2025, 8:17Why Liverpool are playing the waiting game in their pursuit of Alexander IsakAug 13 2025, 8:03Man United have the chance to sign the French defenderDayot Upamecano #2 of FC Bayern München (Photo by Kevin C.
