Overview
- Dayot Upamecano said at a France national team press conference on Thursday that he feels very comfortable at Bayern but left his long-term future open by saying "we'll see what the future brings."
- He signed a contract extension in February that publicly runs to 2030 and media reports say that deal includes a one-time exit clause usable until 2027 for about €65 million.
- Bayern sporting director Max Eberl declined to discuss contract details publicly and would not deny the reported clause while stressing the club is happy with the extension.
- Upamecano has been in strong form for Bayern this season, including a highly rated performance in the 2-0 win at Atlético Madrid, which has increased outside interest in him.
- If the reported clause is real, it would create a clear market window that could prompt offers from abroad and force Bayern to plan for either a sale at the reported fee or retaining a key defender.
