19-year-old David Santos Daiber has signed his first professional contract.
On Monday afternoon, FC Bayern Munich confirmed that the Portugal youth international has penned a long-term deal until 2030.
“We’re always happy when a player like David, who came to the club as a very young talent, turns professional at Bayern," said FC Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund.
“He’s got game intelligence, is assured on the ball and is an extremely reliable midfielder, who’s taken a big step in his development in recent months thanks to regular training with the first team. We have a lot of faith in him.”
Daiber has been at Bayern since the age of nine. After progressing through the club’s youth ranks, the young defensive midfielder has made two senior appearances so far.
His most recent outing came in a 4-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach earlier this month.
