Overview
- Dayot Upamecano’s extension to 2030 is confirmed, and he credits the club’s trust and coach Vincent Kompany for his decision.
- Club leadership reinforces financial discipline with no borrowing, a compact squad, and reduced flexibility without last year’s Club World Cup windfall of roughly €50 million.
- SPORT1 reports Bayern want a third defender at near the level of Jonathan Tah and Upamecano but would need to clear space first.
- Min‑jae Kim, under contract until 2028, is linked by reports to Chelsea and Tottenham; Bayern are not actively selling but would consider a good offer, with some coverage suggesting a fee around €30 million.
- Potential centre‑back options named by SPORT1 include Nico Schlotterbeck, Luka Vuskovic and Yann Aurel Bisseck, with wage considerations cited as a factor as Kim could earn up to €17 million.
