While Dayot Upamecano extended his lease at Bayern Munich last February, the existence of a release clause worth 65 million euros raises strong questions in Germany. A paltry sum on the current market for a central defender of this stature, likely to attract the attention of Europe’s biggest names next summer. Questioned by the German press on this subject, Max Eberl firmly refused to clarify the terms of the Frenchman’s contract, cautiously kicking into touch.
Faced with persistent rumors, the Munich sporting director simply expressed his relief at having locked down the French international, ensuring that the player felt particularly fulfilled in Bavaria. “I am not here to detail the contracts. One thing is certain: we have extended Upamecano’s contract, we are delighted with it and, to be honest, he feels perfectly at home here.”declared the leader of Bayern Munich. For his part, after the victory against Mainz in the Bundesliga, Dayot Upamecano will join the Blues and Zinédine Zidane for the November rally.
