Bayern move for Nathaniel Brown as Mbappé praises Upamecano
Bayern’s Alphonso Davies remains in return-to-play protocol after a hamstring injury suffered in a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, leaving his Canada status for Qatar uncertain.
Kylian Mbappé hails Bayern centre-back Dayot Upamecano as ‘one of the very best’, praising his consistency and key role for France before their World Cup opener.
Laimer, 29, is close to extending with Bayern beyond 2027 after ‘months of tough negotiations’. The Austria international was a regular at full-back in 2025/26, making 47 appearances with 3 goals and 13 assists. An announcement is expected soon.
Bayern are set to sign Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown, reportedly costing more than Michael Olise, bolstering their squad with another Germany international.
