A new two-year deal has been handed to the experienced frontman, whose previous deal expired this summer.

Choupo-Moting told Bayern’s official website: “I am proud to be here. FC Bayern is a very special club, the number one club in Germany and also one of the best clubs in the world.
“My first year here was great – on the pitch, but also off the pitch, we had a lot of fun together.
“I want to continue to have success with the team, I’d like to reach the DFB Cup final in Berlin and ideally win the Champions League.
“I’m looking forward to getting to know Munich even better, to becoming even more at home here, because Munich is a beautiful city.”
The bigger picture
Choupo-Moting made 32 appearances across all competitions last season for Bayern, with nine goals recorded by the Cameroon international.
He is expected to figure prominently again when Julian Nagelsmann takes the reins, with the German champions delighted to be getting business done early this summer.
Board member for sport Hasan Salihamidzic said: “We are happy that Maxim will stay with us for another two years. He is a very important player for us, performing strongly last season and scoring many goals.
“Maxim can be used in several positions, has very good technique, a lot of experience and is a goal threat.
“Aside from his sporting quality, Maxim is also important for our team as a person. He will help us achieve our goals in the next two years.”
