Overview
- Bayern confirmed on March 9 that national-team standout Andreas Obst has signed a new deal running to 2029.
- Obst is a World and European champion and currently one of the EuroLeague’s most prolific three-point scorers, averaging about 15.5 points with roughly 40% from deep.
- President Herbert Hainer said Bayern had to stretch financially and that Obst did not take the most lucrative offer available.
- Interest from top EuroLeague clubs and conversations with NBA teams had been reported, while a widely cited Dubai offer was publicly denied by Obst’s agent.
- To mark the extension, Bayern introduced its first player-specific collection featuring Obst-branded items such as shirts, caps and mugs, positioning him as the face of the team.
