"It's no big secret that we have a strong desire to extend Upamecano's contract. And as for the other players, a few contracts are expiring. Players who have been at FC Bayern for a long time. These are players who have a completely different perception, of themselves, but also of the team, of FC Bayern. And it's clear we're always thinking about that. When we think the time is right, we'll start the talks in calm and behind closed doors,"
"Because of the salaries involved, the decisions that Eberl makes will be key. While Goretzka and Gnabry would figure to be rotational pieces moving forward, Upamecano is the team's No.1 center-back - and there is a reported gap between what Bayern Munich wants to offer the defender and what the Frenchman requires to stay. None of these talks (Goretzka and Gnabry will have to take payc uts) will be easy."
"News broke this week that Harry Kane will have to let Bayern Munich know he wants to leave next summer during the winter transfer window - giving the club ample notice to find a successor. Will it happen? Will this be a distraction? How realistic is that Kane opts to sign an extension with Bayern? Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona all want him."
Max Eberl must assess expiring contracts for Dayot Upamecano, Leon Goretzka, and Serge Gnabry and decide on extensions or departures. There is a clear desire to keep Upamecano, but a reported wage gap exists between Bayern's offer and the defender's demands. Goretzka and Gnabry are likely to become rotational players and will face pressure to accept pay cuts. All contract negotiations will be sensitive and challenging. Separately, Harry Kane may notify Bayern of a desire to leave next summer during the winter window, prompting succession planning and generating considerable transfer interest from top clubs.
