"Dayot Upamecano has signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club through June 2030 on a salary of roughly €20m with a release clause in the new deal for €65m. This extends his stay from June 2027, which was when his old contract was set to expire. A decision being reached and agreed upon marks the end of what was a great deal of negotiating between the club, the player, and his representatives, but a statement of intent nonetheless from the club, especially with how much Upamecano has grown into a key player at the club at the heart of defense ever since his move from RB Leipzig."
"Growing up in Évreux, France, spending a lot of time playing football on the street cage pitches has helped mold his character and mindset into what it is today. "For me, mentality is the most important thing for a football player - to always keep going. In my mind, I always want to keep going no matter what happens on the outside. I'm always focused on myself and giving 100% in training and in games. I'm now 27 and feel very strong mentally," the center-back explained (via @iMiaSanMia)."
Dayot Upamecano signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich through June 2030, earning approximately €20m per year and protected by a €65m release clause. The deal replaces a contract that would have expired in June 2027 and concludes prolonged negotiations between the club, the player, and his representatives. Interest from major European clubs, notably Real Madrid, raised transfer speculation during talks, but Upamecano remained focused and consistent on the pitch. Upamecano cites a street-football upbringing in Évreux for shaping his mentality and work ethic. He has developed into a key centre-back alongside Jonathan Tah since joining from RB Leipzig.
