Bayern Munich are not ready to risk losing one of their most important defenders, as Sporting Director Max Eberl insists the club is doing everything possible to keep Dayot Upamecano at the Allianz Arena.
The French defender, now 27, joined the Bavarian side from RB Leipzig back in 2021 for around 42 million, and since then, his progress has been nothing short of impressive. His current deal runs until 2026, but with big European clubs sniffing around, Bayern wants to get a new contract done sooner rather than later. As reported earlier, Max Eberl had admitted to the need to tie the defender to a new contract, as the player was attracting interest from top European clubs.
Speaking to the media, as revealed by sports expert Fabrizio Romano via his official X account, Eberl spoke with real admiration when describing Upa's journey, hailing the player's career as impeccable and also putting him forward as one of the best defenders in the world.
