Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed the German club’s interest in signing Stade Rennais player Jérémy Jacquet (20) during the winter transfer window.
“Jérémy Jacquet, from Stade Rennais, would have been an excellent player for us. But when you see that he is going to Liverpool at the age of 20 for €70 million, you have to think about what is best for Bayern Munich,” explained the 52-year-old executive in an interview with Sport1.
So, while unable to secure the services of the promising French centre-back, who will join the reigning English champions at the end of the season, the Rekordmeister have finally managed to extend the contract of his compatriot Dayot Upamecano (27). A real victory for Eberl.
“He knows the club, he’s in top form and he’s one of the best centre-backs in the world,” he summarised. “From a sporting and financial point of view, it’s the right decision. That’s why I’m talking about an ‘internal transfer’.”
Previously contracted to Bayern Munich until June 2026, Upamecano has signed a new deal extending his stay until 2030.
