Bayern Step Up Push to Extend Upamecano as Club Chiefs Go Public

Club leaders make a public renewal push ahead of the defender’s contract expiry.

Overview

  • Sporting director Max Eberl said Bayern will do everything to keep Dayot Upamecano, calling the likelihood a ten out of ten if it were up to him and noting the player feels very comfortable in Munich.
  • Eberl acknowledged the centre-back "probably has possibilities" elsewhere and said resolving the situation is his job, adding "we should manage it."
  • Bayern president Herbert Hainer used the club’s annual meeting to urge Upamecano to follow recent renewals, citing extensions for Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich as a sign of the project.
  • Upamecano, a France international who joined in 2021, is in talks over a new deal with his current contract running out at the end of the season.
  • Local reports say there remains a gap on financial terms and suggest outside interest, though Bayern project confidence and Eberl praised Upamecano as one of the best centre-backs in the world.
