Somehow, Dayot Upamecano’s contract extension at Bayern Munich is still not official. Bayern offered Upamecano very, very lucrative financial terms around the beginning of the year, only for the Frenchman’s camp to sit in radio silence for multiple weeks. Fed up, Die Rekordmeister gave Upamecano a deadline, one that reportedly finally pushed the center back to agree to terms with the club.
That was two weeks ago. Somehow, things are still dragging on. In the midst of the uncertainty, Joshua Kimmich
spoke to German news site Bild and became another of many teammates to publicly talk about Upamecano’s contract situation.
“I’ve already spoken to him once or twice. He knows my opinion of him. He’ll figure it out,” Kimmich said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “He’ll make the right decision for himself. And from my perspective, staying here is obviously the right decision. I can’t judge all the factors that play a role from his perspective. But I think the Bayern Munich package is very, very attractive right now.”
Given how strong Bayern look right now and how settled they are under head coach Vincent Kompany, the package is attractive. Still, the wait for the announcement is a frustrating one.
