Paris Saint-Germain has identified Dayot Upamecano as a top-priority g to bolster their defence during the summer transfer window. Luis Enrique aims to strengthen his backline and sees the French centre-back as the perfect candidate to replace Marquinhos, who might leave the club for a move to Saudi Arabia. The French side is expected to accelerate negotiations to finalise this transfer.
The Bayern Munich player faces an uncertain future. While he is interested in staying at the club, discussions over extending his contract have stalled. The defender is seeking a salary that aligns with other key players in the team, which so far the German champions are unwilling to accommodate. His current deal runs until 2026.
This situation could work in favour of PSG. Although the Parisian club has yet to submit a formal offer, that could change soon. Luis Enrique might provide him with a pivotal role in the squad, offering the opportunity to compete for all possible trophies, including international titles.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is approaching the issue cautiously. Given the uncertain status of several other defenders, loamecano could pose a significant challenge for the defensive lineup under Vincent Kompany’s management.
