Leipzig (AP) - The change of the French national soccer player Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig to FC Bayern Munich is perfect.

This was confirmed by Bavaria's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic on Friday in the “Bild” newspaper.

«We had very good, intensive and professional discussions with Dayot and his advisor Volker Struth for many months.

We knew we had very tough competition.

Upamecano is a young player, 22, whose qualities are already exceptionally developed, ”said Salihamidzic.

Upamecano, who is actually still tied to Leipzig until 2023, can leave RB thanks to an exit clause for 42.5 million euros and receives a contract in Munich until 2026.

«I was always convinced that we came up with a good concept.

We presented him with our vision of his career at FC Bayern.

During the past week in Doha, I spoke to everyone involved again.

At the end of a long process, the players, family and management were convinced that FC Bayern was the right partner, ”said Salihamidzic.
