"Upa has been performing at a world-class level for the past year and a half, ever since Vinnie arrived. For us, that would be a very important contract extension. We are in good talks. He's 27, 28 next year, that's the best age for a footballer. Accordingly, this will be a very important contract for him for the next 3-4 years."
"I've known him for a very, very long time; I brought him to Salzburg when he was 16. We've known each other for a long time and have a good relationship. There's no final decision yet, but we're very, very advanced."
Contract talks between Bayern Munich and center-back Dayot Upamecano stalled after he withdrew from negotiations over the summer. Upamecano has performed at a world-class level for the past year and a half, particularly since Vinnie arrived. An extension is considered very important for both player and club given his age and current form. Freund described Upamecano as 27, turning 28 next year, and said a three- to four-year contract would suit the next stage of his career. Freund recalled bringing him to Salzburg at 16 and emphasized their long-standing relationship. Negotiations are advanced but not finalized, and supporters may feel uncertain until a new deal is signed.
