Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to extend the contract of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for another season. The striker’s current deal was set to run out at the end of 22/23, but he has now signed on until June 2024.

The 33-year-old was not expected to be the first choice after the departure of Robert Lewandowski this past summer. But in a very surprising turn of events, he has become the trusted goalscorer for the German giants. In 24 games across all competitions, he has scored 15 goals and provided four assists.

The forward’s new deal was a priority for Bayern Munich since November. And after several rounds of discussions, an agreement is now in place between the two parties. An official announcement can be expected from Bayern in the coming days confirming his renewal.

The forward is also expected to get a significant pay rise almost double his current salary. His role in the squad has changed significantly, and fresh terms have been discussed for Choupo-Moting, which reflects his contributions better.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting joined Bayern from PSG in 2020, and has now spent three years with them. He now has the chance to knock out his former club in the Champions League Round of 16, since the German giants have a 1-0 advantage heading into the return leg.
