Bayern Munich chief executive officer Jan-Christian Dreesen did not mince words on the status of Dayot Upamecano rumored agreement on a new contract.
In fact, he pretty much confirmed that it will happen very soon.
“When you trust each other and say ‘yes’, then the timing of the contract signing becomes irrelevant. There are no obstacles; it’s just a matter of days,” Dreesen told Abendzeitung’s Patrick Strasser (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) after Bayern Munich’s 5-1 victory over Hoffenheim.
Upamecano
was an important part of his team’s winning effort as center-back partner Jonathan Tah struggled a bit during the match. A 17th minute red card helped ease the pain for Bayern Munich, but Upamecano’s continued presence on the backline will be something the team can build upon after this effort and moving forward (or at least until his exit clause allows).
While the details of his contract have been extremely controversial (if true), Upamecano seems energized to continue his career in Bavaria.
