"One of the biggest off-the-field issues for Bayern Munich during this Hinrunde is the club's contract situation with Dayot Upamecano. The club wants to extend the Frenchman's deal, but the defender called off talks this summer after Bayern Munich only presented a low offer. Now, the two sides are back at the negotiating table (maybe both figuratively and literally), but Upamecano will not give a progress update."
"I feel comfortable here and am happy to be able to work with a very good coach and great players. My agent is speaking to Bayern officials. The talks are ongoing. There's nothing more to say. We'll see what happens," said Upamecano. The Upamecano situation is an important one."
"Bayern Munich star Luis Díaz seems really happy to be in Bavaria. "I like to enjoy football, I always have a smile on my face. I want to enjoy every moment that life gives me. I have a strong character on the pitch. Smiling is always important. Being at such a big club is special," said Díaz."
Bayern Munich wants to extend Dayot Upamecano's deal but talks were called off this summer after the club presented a low offer. Negotiations have resumed while Upamecano declines to provide a progress update. Upamecano says he feels comfortable, appreciates the coach and players, and that his agent is speaking with club officials. If Upamecano leaves, Bayern would likely need to spend heavily on a primary center-back next summer, which the club wants to avoid amid already costly transfer plans. Luis Díaz expresses happiness in Bavaria and emphasizes enjoying football and being at a big club. A Bundesliga podcast focuses on match analysis and odds.
