Overview
- Sporting director Christoph Freund said Bayern’s main goal is to extend Dayot Upamecano’s contract, confirming talks but no agreement yet.
- Reporting in Spain and Germany describes discussions with Upamecano as moving in a positive direction, with a long-term deal under consideration and no verbal agreement in place elsewhere.
- Bayern have made contact with Ibrahima Konaté’s representatives as a contingency, with the Liverpool defender in the final year of his deal.
- Konaté’s agent has held exploratory talks with Bayern, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, while remaining in dialogue with Liverpool over improved terms.
- Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi is also under consideration, and separate reports link Real Madrid and Manchester United with interest in Upamecano ahead of the pre-contract period.
