About two weeks ago, French outlet L’Équipe reported that Dayot Upamecano had agreed a contract extension with Bayern Munich and even reported on certain contractual details. Bild reported that an agreement was very close. This was generally relieving news for Bayern fans, given Upamecano’s position as a key player in the squad and the mere 6 months left on his current contract. But when you ask Bayern’s board member for sport, Max Eberl, things are not nearly done.
Speaking to reporters after Bayern’s 2-0 win over Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, Eberl maintains that talks with the Frenchman are still on going. “We’re talking to him. When there’s something to announce, we’ll announce it – in either direction,” Eberl clarified, as captured by @iMiaSanMia,
What is the hold up? Are Upamecano and his agent feeling out other offers? Are they still not satisfied with the offer? Or perhaps the Bayern social media team is just preparing a dramatic announcement? After all, Bayern fans were made to wait multiple weeks for Alphonso Davies’ official announcement because Davies was composing a song. At FC Hollywood, it would certainly be possible.
