Bayern Faces Defensive Squeeze as Liverpool Presses Konaté Decision

Bayern’s plan to skip January buying leaves it exposed if Liverpool moves for Marc Guehi.

Sind im Winter gleich zwei der heißesten Bayern-Kandidaten weg vom Markt?
Bayern droht der Verlust von Upamecano-Alternativen Konaté und Guehi an Liverpool.

Overview

  • Bayern is in talks to extend Dayot Upamecano, with sporting director Christoph Freund stating the club wants him to stay.
  • Upamecano’s contract runs out at season’s end, making a summer free transfer possible and allowing him to talk to other clubs from January.
  • CaughtOffside, cited by German outlets, reports Liverpool has issued Ibrahima Konaté a final sign-or-sell ultimatum for January after a top contract offer.
  • Liverpool would try to replace a departing Konaté with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, who is not renewing and was reportedly close to Anfield in the summer before a late veto.
  • The BILD ‘Bayern Insider’ podcast says Bayern will not make winter signings, increasing the risk of missing Konaté and Guehi while interest from PSG and Real Madrid reportedly builds in Upamecano.
