Bayern Munich are desperate to extend the contract of defender Dayot Upamecano amid rumours of Real Madrid closing in on the player, Softfootball reports.
The France international has been a super regular for the Bavarians and a key figure in Coach Vincent Kompany’s side. He was outstanding in midweek when Bayern defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 with 10-men in the UEFA Champions League in Paris.
In a recent post by football expert, Fabrizio Roman, via his official X handle, he shared an interview Bayern director Christoph Freund talking about the situation of the player. He wrote:
Bayern director Freund on reports of agreement between Upamecano and Real Madrid: We are in talks to extend his contract. He feels very, very much at home here. There can be clubs interested in him but our aim is for him to stay with us.
Upamecano has helped Bayern Munich keep six clean sheets this season across all competitions and was particularly outstanding when the Bavarians beat 10-man Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 before repeating the score line against Bayer Leverkusen as they march on in their quest to retain their Bundesliga title.
Upamecano has play every game this season for the Bavarians including the Bundesliga, Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League in the 2025–26 season.
Bayern Munich will face Union Berlin in the Match-Day 10 of the Bundesliga and Upamecano will surely start for Vincent Knompany’s ment.
