German media: Hupa also demands a high signing fee for contract renewal, and he does not want to lag behind Davis in this regard

The tug-of-war over contract renewal between Bayern and team defender Yu Pamecano is still continuing. German media sport1 said that the main sticking point between the two sides is that the players require a high signing fee, and Bayern now hopes that coach Kompany will become a key figure.

The report stated that Upamecano may be the best of him now. His partnership with Jonathan Tower has grown into Bayern's real backbone and completed outstanding games one after another. Although Bayern's top brass are delighted with his outburst, there's a problem: Upamecano has become increasingly expensive as a result, and his desire for a hefty signing fee has become legitimate.

According to SPORT1’s news, the negotiations between the club and the players are mainly stuck at this point. The argument for Upamecano and his agent is that Alphonso Davies received a hefty signing fee when he extended his contract. The centre-back does not want to be left behind in this regard.

At the same time, Bayern is increasingly relying on soft factors: behind the scenes, head coach Kompany is regarded as a figure who may play a decisive role in Yupa's contract renewal negotiations. Reporter Stefan Kumberger said in the podcast "Bayern Weekly": "It is believed within the club that Kompany is the person who can convince Yu Pa. It is Kompany who has allowed him to grow up and may also be able to limit his demands."

Kompany has promoted Yu Pa to a new level and has great trust in this beloved general - Bayern executives are currently placing their hopes on this. SPORT1 learned: Although Bayern seeks a quick solution, Yupa can and wants to wait until the new year, because his contract will expire next summer, and other top teams can also formally approach him with their offers after the New Year.

Stefan Kumberger believes that Upamecano should definitely take these soft factors into consideration when making a decision. Because: This 27-year-old player is the type who needs the coach's complete trust, otherwise he may face a slump in form. The reporter also gave an example: "We have already seen it when Tuchel was coaching: he completely ignored Kim Min-ja and Upamecano, and then his state became worse and worse."

After the contract renewal process fell into a period of quiescence, Bayern is now starting to accelerate again, which was also clearly reflected at the annual membership meeting. Club president Hainer mentioned the contract extensions of Kimmich, Musiala and Davies at the meeting, and suggested that Upamecano should also follow suit - the central defender should have heard the applause given by the fans after he said these words.
