Things are turning positive for Bayern Munich, based on recent reports.
Word was that Dayot Upamecano and Bayern Munich were hitting serious roadblocks in contract extension discussions. Upsetting reports to fans surely, as Dayot Upamecano has become Bayern Munich’s most reliable defender. However, things can always turn around, and that seems to be the case for these discussions. Reportedly, new talks have begun and are far more constructive.
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that Bayern Munich and the French defender are now having new talks, over an extension until 2030. Positive developments have been occurring in the last 48 hours but negotiations are still ongoing with more details needed.
New talks are now taking place between FC Bayern and Dayot #Upamecano over a contract extension until 2030.
There have been positive developments in the past 48 hours but more details still need to be clarified. Negotiations ongoing.
However, Upamecano and Bayern very open to extend the contract.
This is massive news for Bayern Munich, as Kim Min Jae has not met expectations and consistently reliant defender Eric Dier is on his way to Ligue 1 with AS Monaco. Signing Upamecano long-term is a great signal to fans that Bayern Munich are serious about competing in Europe for the upcoming years.
With a lot of uncertainty still over the pending transfers such as Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz, and extensions like Leroy Sané, this is reassuring news for fans.
