Bayern Munich exec hints at Dayot Upamecano signing in 'just a matter of days'

"Bayern Munich chief executive officer Jan-Christian Dreesen did not mince words on the status of Dayot Upamecano rumored agreement on a new contract. In fact, he pretty much confirmed that it will happen very soon. "When you trust each other and say 'yes', then the timing of the contract signing becomes irrelevant. There are no obstacles; it's just a matter of days," Dreesen told Abendzeitung's Patrick Strasser (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) after Bayern Munich's 5-1 victory over Hoffenheim."

"Upamecano was an important part of his team's winning effort as center-back partner Jonathan Tah struggled a bit during the match. A 17th minute red card helped ease the pain for Bayern Munich, but Upamecano's continued presence on the backline will be something the team can build upon after this effort and moving forward ( or at least until his exit clause allows)."

Bayern Munich chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed that Dayot Upamecano's new contract is expected to be signed within days, saying there are no obstacles and timing is irrelevant once both sides agree. Upamecano played an important role in Bayern's 5-1 win over Hoffenheim, particularly as center-back partner Jonathan Tah had a quieter game. A 17th-minute red card eased pressure on Bayern, and Upamecano's continued presence in the backline offers a foundation for future matches until any exit clause is triggered. Contract details remain controversial but Upamecano appears energized to continue his career in Bavaria.
