""The talks are ongoing, with Max Eberl and Christoph Freund conducting them. And of course I hope that Dayot will stay with us for a long time to come," Hainer told Abendzeitung's Maximilian Koch (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). The center-back's future will play a big role in Bayern Munich's future planning. With the summer of 2026 likely to be one where the Bavarians need to spend, hitting the transfer market for another central defender could be a tough, but necessary item on the shopping list."
"Meanwhile, fellow starting center-back Jonathan Tah think is partnership with Upamecano is solidifying. "I feel like the automatisms and coordination are getting better and better, considering we haven't played many games together. But there are always things where we can improve, as a team, but also personally. We'll continue to work on that and hopefully get even better over the season," Tah told ranSport's MartinVolkmar (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
Contract talks are underway to retain Dayot Upamecano, with the club hoping for a long-term stay while planning squad strategy. Upamecano's future will significantly influence transfer planning, as the summer of 2026 is likely to require investment in central defence and possibly another centre-back. The partnership between the two starting centre-backs is improving, with growing automatisms and coordination despite limited matches together. Bayern secured a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and celebrated at Oktoberfest before the international break. Concerns about player workload and form for some individuals, including questions around Florian Wirtz, prompt calls for rest and tactical adjustments.
