David Santos Daiber signs professional terms with Bayern | OneFootball

David Santos Daiber has signed his first professional contract with Bayern. The 19-year-old Portugal youth international joined the club’s academy in 2016 from TSV Milbertshofen and has now committed his future with a deal until 30 June 2030.

Christoph Freund, Bayern sporting director: “We’re always happy when a player like David, who came to the club as a very young talent, turns professional at Bayern. 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.”

The defensive midfielder joined Bayern at the age of nine and worked his way through the youth teams to the reserves, where he has made two appearances. The teenager was also part of the first team’s Club World Cup squad in the USA last summer and made his senior debut in December’s 4-0 win at Heidenheim.

Santos has so far played six times for Portugal’s U19s, having previously reached the final of the U17 Euros with the country in 2024.
