In the 2023-2024 season, injuries and sluggishness overlapped, and he was also shunned by manager Thomas Tuchel.
However, it has rebounded this season. Coach Bang Sang Kompany, who prefers to raise the line and defend, took over and gained wings. Upamecano, who boasts fast speed and aggressive defense, was appointed. Upamecano has established himself as the main center back along with Kim Min-jae. He has already played 30 games this season.
Sports director Christophe Freund recently said "Ufamecano knows we want to extend his contract. We have had a very good discussion with him. I want to extend the contract as soon as possible." Negotiations are going smoothly, and there is a very high possibility of renewing the contract.

Jamal Musiala, who recently renewed his contract, also scored a buyout. They failed to reject their demands to catch Musiala, who received the attention of big clubs. From the summer of 2025 to the summer of 2029, you can leave Bayern for 175 million euros (about 265 billion won), and from the summer of 2029, the last year of the contract, 100 million euros (151.4 billion won). Considering Musiala's talent and value, the local public opinion is that it is a relatively low amount.
