His current deal was due to expire at the end of this season, and Ulreich spoke of the trust the club had showed in him with the new deal. “I’m pleased that Bayern have put their faith in me and I can help this great club in the coming years to achieve its aims. My family and I are also really happy in Munich.”

This season especially he’s played a massive part hunt for the title, as well as our continued progress in the UEFA Champions League and DFB Cup.”
