Freund: I m very confident that Pablo will renew his contract, but I can t influence other people s possible decisions

Today, Bayern sports director Freund was interviewed by "Sky Sports" and he responded to the issue of Upamecano's contract renewal.

■How confident is Bayern in Pamecano's contract extension?

Freund said: "It's hard to say, but I'm very confident. I've known Hupa for a long time. He joined Salzburg when he was 16 years old and I know how important it is for him to feel comfortable and play in a specific way. So I am positive about the conditions we can offer, but I can't influence the decisions that other people may make."

"Our playing style suits him very well and that can be felt when he comes on the field. Because of this, Bayern can offer him a lot. His family is also very comfortable in Munich. He knows what he can get here, which is also part of the overall treatment of Bayern, and understands the current state of the club. That is why I am very confident that he will play for Bayern for a long time."

The current contract of the 26-year-old French defender with Bayern will expire in June next year.
