Overview
- FC Bayern confirmed Dayot Upamecano has signed a new contract through 2030 after negotiations Eberl described as difficult.
- Multiple outlets report a package of about €20 million in annual salary, €15–20 million in bonuses, and a €65 million release clause that activates in 2027.
- Eberl says centre-back planning for next season is effectively complete and that Bayern will not add another top defender unless a current player is sold.
- The club will keep monitoring defensive options for the future, with reports naming Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read as a long-term target.
- Eberl underscores the growing role of agent fees and bonuses since the Bosman ruling and argues retaining key players now costs less than buying equivalents, with reports noting interest from Real Madrid and PSG was fended off.
