Overview
- Honorary president Uli Hoeneß said Bayern will say no more often to agents and is considering a blacklist for representatives deemed to have negotiated unfairly.
- Dayot Upamecano has extended his contract to 2030 after protracted talks that Hoeneß said featured attempts to drive up costs or steer the player elsewhere, including demands for a signing bonus.
- Sporting boss Max Eberl acknowledged frustrations with agents but urged decisions based on the club’s interests rather than personal disputes.
- Agent Jörg Neblung rejected Hoeneß’s critique as outrageous populism and defended agents’ role in presenting alternatives to players.
- Hoeneß ruled out headline-grabbing summer transfers, stressing that deals must not lead to debt and that Bayern will keep pathways open for young players; separate reports have suggested, without confirmation, that Upamecano’s total package could reach about €100 million.
