Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl would love to see Dayot Upamecano ink a new deal with the club.
The executive will not rush his star defender, though, and will allow him the necessary time
to work through things with his camp.
“Upa is now 27 years old, at the prime age for a center-back. He wants to make a very conscious decision, which he should do. Upa shouldn’t and won’t stay because of the money, even though he’s received a good offer from us, but because of our overall approach and the complete package. He’s one of the best defenders in the world. Vincent, Christoph, and I have supported him a lot and want to continue down the path we’ve started with him and would like to keep him at the peak of his career. He would be our ‘internal star signing,” Eberl told Sport Bild’s Henning Feindt, Christian Falk, and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
When asked if a best-and-final offer had been submitted, Eberl said that it had not.
“No, not yet, we are still talking. I’m generally a very positive person, and I believe I can sense that Upa feels very comfortable with the path we have chosen,” Eberl stated.
