For several months, Dayot Upamecano has made everyone agree at Bayern Munich. The French international (35 caps) continues high-flying performances, weekend after weekend, thus confirming his status as leader of the Bavarian defense and also establishing himself as one of the best players in his position. At the end of his contract at the end of the season, his name was notably associated with PSG and Real Madrid, as we revealed to you. But the current trend is indeed moving towards a contract extension in Munich. Enough to undoubtedly delight his trainer, Vincent Kompany.
Although he did not mention the discussions between the Bavarian board and the former Leipzig player, the Belgian technician nevertheless took advantage of the press conference the day before the match against Wolfsburg (5:30 p.m.) to praise the 27-year-old player. “ I didn’t know “Upa” before, we’ve been working together for 18 months. I found his starting level already very high. For me, he has always been a leader and he does it even more on the field with his teammates. He is stable defensively. But it is perhaps with the ball that he has evolved the most with me over the last 18 months. He plays forward, he knows how to play between the lines. They understand each other very well with their teammatesindicated Kompany on the player who arrived in 2021 in Bavaria. For me, Upa is a player who can continue to develop and become one of the best defenders in the world. There are still a few steps to take, we’re doing it together and it’s something we enjoy too. »
