According to Sport BILD, Bayern Munich have no intention of paying Dayot Upamecano the €20million signing fee he's demanding.

Nonetheless, other clubs - such as Real Madrid - would be willing to do so in order to get him as a free agent next summer.

There's still room for cautious optimism in Bavaria that Upamecano may well end up extending his contract. 

However, the club has to make a key decision regarding the player's financial demands, and consider the cost of a possible replacement. 

As for out-of-favour defender Kim Min-Jae, he still feels comfortable at the German champions, despite reports stating otherwise.

Within the club, the bosses also happy with his attitude and commitment whenever he got a chance to play so far this season.

Kim is doing better physically and believes he can compete for a starting spot, so a January move is extremely unlikely given their squad depth.
