"There has been speculation around Upamecano's future over the last 12 months. Bayern eventually reached an agreement on a deal until 2030, four months before his last contract was set to expire. Upamecano has been one of the best center-backs in Europe over the last 18 months. He has played his best football in Bayern colours under Vincent Kompany. The French defender's good form had attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid."
"In an interview with Sport1 this week, Bayern's director of sport, Max Eberl, admitted that the club will have a relaxed approach in the summer transfer window when it comes to strengthening the defense. "We've reached a point where we're not under pressure regarding squad planning. We can calmly decide what happens next. Of course, we're still keeping an eye on the market. We certainly won't rule out any option that would benefit FC Bayern.""
Dayot Upamecano signed a new Bayern Munich contract until 2030, resolving a year-long future uncertainty and arriving four months before his previous deal expired. Upamecano has been among Europe's top center-backs recently and has flourished at Bayern under Vincent Kompany, attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. Bayern met his salary demands and reportedly added a release clause. With Upamecano and Jonathan Tah as first-choice center-backs and Kim Min-jae, Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic providing depth, Bayern feel no immediate pressure to sign another central defender and will prioritize a right-back in the summer.
