What future for Dayot Upamecano? Arrived in the summer of 2021 from the RB Leipzig, the French international defender (28 selections, 2 goals) quickly established himself as a pillar of the rear guard of Bayern Munich.

For his part, Min-Jae Kim could also leave the club if an appropriate offer came to arrive on the Munich offices. Finally, the return to Hiroki Ito competition is still waiting.
