Eberle: Give priority to renewing the contract with Upa; if there is any surprise, the team will take action in the market

Hupu, October 25th: Bayern Munich is preparing for possible changes in the defense: If defender Upamecano leaves the team, the club will take countermeasures in the transfer market.

Sports director Max Eberl was asked in an interview with the streaming platform DAZN about his recent meeting with England international Gueye's agent and said: "Our clear goal is to renew the contract with Upa. If it fails for any reason, we must be prepared. It would be really stupid not to prepare. I don't want to confirm anything now, but we are indeed acting in the market."

Previously, according to Sky Sports Germany, Eberl had met with Gueye's agent a few days ago. The 25-year-old central defender currently plays for Crystal Palace in the Premier League. His contract will expire at the end of this season, so he will leave the team free next summer. However, other top European clubs are also expected to be in contention for the England defender.

At the same time, Upamecano's contract with Bayern also only lasts until the end of the season. There are also recent rumors that his defense partner Kim Min-jae may be a candidate to leave the team. According to media reports, Bayern is also interested in Dortmund central defender Schlotterbeck. If the move comes true, he will form a national team central defender partner with Bayern.
