Dayot Upamecano has signed a new contract at Bayern until 30 June 2030 as the club secures the long-term services of a pillar of the team. The 27-year-old France international has been at the Allianz Arena since the 2021/22 season, so far winning three Bundesliga titles and three domestic Supercups.
Jan-Christian Dreesen, FC Bayern CEO: “Dayot Upamecano has matured into a top-level player with us. We’re delighted he’ll continue his journey at Bayern, also proving once again our status in international football. His clear personal commitment is a strong message for our sporting course and for the good togetherness within the team and the club.”
Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport: “Dayot Upamecano is another central figure in our team who we’ve been able to extend with. A squad needs anchor points, and we’ve got the next with Dayot. The question often isn’t who you sign but who you develop. Dayot has matured into a top international player here at Bayern. We’re looking forward to continuing our journey together.”
Christoph Freund, FC Bayern sporting director: “Dayot Upamecano brings a really strong combination of speed, physicality and anticipation to our team. The way he plays is perfect for our style. And he’s developed into a truly world-class defender and leader here at Bayern. The whole package he brings is hugely valuable for our squad. We’re happy he’s staying with us.”
Dayot Upamecano: “I’m really happy to be staying at Bayern and continuing to play in this team. We’ve got a great team and a great coach. We’ve got big goals together. In life, it’s always about mentality. I give my all for my teammates, in every training session, want to keep a clean sheet in every game and want to win as many titles as possible with Bayern.”
Upamecano joined Bayern from RB Leipzig five years ago and has since made 180 competitive appearances for the club, scoring six goals and providing nine assists. The centre-back also has 35 caps (two goals) for France, winning the UEFA Nations League in 2021 and playing in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina.
