According to Manuel Neuer (38), Alphonso Davies (24) and Jamal Musiala (21), FC Bayern is bought with the next extension of a top performer. As “Sky” reports, central defender Dayot Upamecano could be finalized in the coming days. The Frenchman should probably bind himself until 2030, although the term and last details have not yet been decided. Upamecano currently has a working paper by 2026. Previously, the “Sport Bild” had reported on corresponding plans.
“Upa knows that we absolutely want to extend with him. We had very good conversations with him. We would like to extend with him promptly, ”Bavaria’s sports director Christoph Freund told the magazine. “We are very, very happy with Upas development. And he is also very happy with FC Bayern. ” The 26-year-old was signed by RB Leipzig in 2021 for 42.5 million euros and has since brought it to 144 games, five goals and eight templates for the record champions. After sometimes fluctuating performance in previous years, Upamecano has become an integral part of the team of coach Vincent Kompany this season.
The international of the Équipe Tricolore was able to increase its market value from 45 million to EUR 50 million in December. Bayern fan “Stoffler” wrote in the TM forum: “There will be voices again, which say that you still have to wait for the rest of the season and how he presents himself in the very big champions League games. So far I found his season consistently good, and for him there will also be a market at the best of age. So you are well advised not to pull that in length. Otherwise the next player will go into the last contract year. I hope that he could become our constant in central defense. He now seems to take this step. “
“I’ve seen him very stable all season,” said sports director Max Eberl after the playoff first leg at Celtic Glasgow (2-1). “Upa is an outstanding central defender for me and he showed that today.” Only next to Min-Jae Kim (2,817 minutes) and Joshua Kimmich (3,150) were on the pitch than Upamecano (2,658) this season.
