Sporting not messing about: Debast tipped to replace departing Frenchman | OneFootball

After Liverpool and several other sharks, Zeno Debast, Sporting’s center-back, is linked with Bayern Munich to replace Upamecano

Bayern Munich are interested in Zeno Debast. Sporting’s center-back has been a starter since the beginning of the season due to Ousmane Diomande’s injury and has been delivering performances that have attracted the interest of several European giants.

After being linked with Liverpool, Debast is now being placed on the Bavarians’ radar. According to Fichajes, Zeno Debast is the Germans’ choice to replace Dayot Upamecano — whose contract is expiring — if Bayern fail to sign Nico Schlotterbeck from Dortmund.

The Spanish outlet claims that the Lions’ number 6 is highly regarded at the Allianz Arena and could indeed be a concrete option for Bayern. Besides the Germans and Liverpool, Zeno has also been linked with Manchester United, Napoli, Arsenal, Dortmund, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Juventus, Real Madrid, and several other foreign clubs.

It’s worth recalling that Bayern’s interest is not new. When Debast arrived at Sporting in 2024/25, the Bavarians were already eyeing the signing of the Belgian international. Vincent Kompany knows his compatriot very well, but the Lions moved first.

At the start of this season, Zeno Debast — valued at 30 million euros — has already made 10 official appearances for Sporting. The Lions’ “number 6” has recorded so far, 638 minutes of play, but still without any goals or assists to his name.
