According to Fabrizio Romano, Dayot Upamecano has agreed to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich. Suitors that were hoping to obtain his services for free in the summer have been informed, and thus a long overdrawn saga has been put to rest, at least when it comes to the France international.

Upamecano long stalled the negotiations with Bayern, keeping his options open. Real Madrid were said to be interested, and potentially Liverpool, who could still lose the services of Ibrahima Konate without compensation at the end of the season. Even the possibility of the two France centre-back partners swapping clubs was mooted.

However, the 27-year-old will now remain at the Allianz Arena. His new contract will be valid for four years.

Having joined Bayern from RB Leipzig – where he also played with Konate – Upamecano has so far made a total of 178 matches for Bayern in all competitions, scoring six goals and contributing 11 assists.
