Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer says the club is confident of keeping defender Dayot Upamecano.

Recall that Upamecano’s contract is expected to expire next summer, and he can negotiate a ‘pre-agreement’ with foreign clubs starting January 1st if he doesn’t sign a new deal before then.

However, in an interview with Abendzeitung, Hainer stated that he’s optimistic Upamecano will extend his contract with the club.

“We are in the process of speaking with Upamecano. I believe he feels comfortable in Munich.

“It’s obviously an important decision for him as well. In principle, he likes it very much at Bayern. We would like to keep him. I am cautiously optimistic.”
