Bayern Munich director Christoph Freund has expressed his admiration for defender Dayot Upamecano’s current form, confirming that the club intends to offer him a new contract to secure his future at the Allianz Arena.
Upamecano featured in Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw against Union Berlin yesterday, a result that marked their first draw of the Bundesliga season. Despite the setback, the French defender was one of the standout performers, showcasing his composure and strength at the back.
Softfootball earlier reported that Bayern were preparing a new contract offer for Upamecano amid rumours linking him with a move to Real Madrid. The Bavarian giants now seem intent on shutting down any talk of a potential exit.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his X handle, Bayern director Freund said:
You can see Upamecano is in extremely good form and extremely happy. We can offer him a great contract to stay here at Bayern. I’m very positive that he’ll be at Bayern for a long time to come.
Freund’s confidence reflects the club’s growing belief in the 27-year-old, who has become one of the most consistent defenders in Europe over the last few seasons.
With Bayern still competing on multiple fronts, securing Upamecano’s long-term commitment could prove vital as they aim to reclaim both domestic and continental glory.
