The leaders of Munich's "Bayern" team have rolled up their sleeves.

Bundesliga team representatives are in talks with various players they want to keep in the club's ranks.

According to "Bild," "Bayern" is nearing an agreement with defender Dayot Upamecano, who could become a free agent in six months.

According to the press, the proposed annual salary of 20 million euros suits the footballer, as well as the option for a 65 million euro buyout that opens in 2027.

At the same time, the Munich club intends to retain young talent Lennart Karl.

The German, who will become of age on February 22 of this year, will receive a contract that will automatically come into effect.

However, "Bayern" will not be enough with the contract valid until 2029 - the Bundesliga team intends to offer the talent to stay with the team at least until mid-2031.

At the same time, the German giants would offer the player a salary several times greater - the footballer could earn 5-7 million euros per year.
