Bayern Munich remain determined to extend Dayot Upamecano’s contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season.

“We’re in good talks and we really want him to stay,” Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund told DAZN following Saturday’s 2-2 draw with 1. FC Union Berlin.

However, with other major clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea reportedly monitoring the French centre-back, Freund acknowledged the fierce competition for his signature.

“We know he has a strong market, but we hope he stays with us for a long time,” he added.

Upamecano joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021.
