Two mega-contracts! This is how expensive Bayern’s future will be | OneFootball

FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their squad planning and sending out clear strategic signals. With Dayot Upamecano and Lennart Karl, the focus is on two individuals who symbolize stability and future orientation. Both are to be tied to the club in the long term – and both are to be given highly remunerated contracts

After months of tough negotiations, Dayot Upamecano is on the verge of extending his contract at FC Bayern. The club and the player have agreed to continue working together and the new contract should catapult the 27-year-old central defender into the ranks of the absolute top earners at Säbener Strasse. Bayern are thus not only rewarding his sporting development under Vincent Kompany, but are also consciously focusing on continuity in the center of defence

The exit clause that Upamecano has anchored in his new contract remains controversial. It is precisely this point that raises questions – both in sporting and financial terms. In the current episode of the FCBinside podcast Headlines, there is therefore an intensive discussion about whether Bayern have found the right balance between planning security and risk with this deal or whether they have leaned too far out of the window to keep a top performer

Despite Real’s dreams: Bayern firmly planning with Lennart Karl



At the same time, those in charge are also working on the future of Lennart Karl. The 17-year-old recently caused a stir with statements about his dream club Real Madrid, but the team at Säbener Straße are not letting this irritate them. On the contrary: Bayern want to tie the shooting star down for the long term and are planning a new five-year contract until 2031

According to reports, Karl could earn up to eight million euros per year in future – a signal of trust and at the same time a clear commitment to his role as the face of the next Bayern generation. This would make the attacking player one of the best-paid teenagers in Europe

This personnel matter is also the subject of the latest FCBinside podcast, which discusses how Bayern are dealing with Karl’s development, what expectations are realistic and why the club is fully committed to its home-grown talent despite international covetousness.
