Liverpool Ultimatum Puts Bayern’s Upamecano Plan Under Pressure

Reports of a deadline for Ibrahima Konaté could trigger January moves that complicate Bayern’s wait-until-summer approach.

Overview

  • Bayern remains in talks to extend Dayot Upamecano’s expiring deal, with sporting director Christoph Freund saying they want him to stay.
  • CaughtOffside, as relayed by German media, reports Liverpool has issued Konaté a final-offer ultimatum with a sale in January if he declines.
  • The same reports say Liverpool would move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as a replacement, after a summer switch collapsed following Oliver Glasner’s veto.
  • BILD’s Bayern Insider reports Bayern intends to avoid winter transfers, a stance that could leave the club exposed if rivals act in January.
  • Upamecano, Konaté and Guehi are all out of contract at season’s end, with interest in Upamecano from top clubs reported and the player eligible for talks from January.
