- Negotiations have moved closer on base pay, but multiple outlets say a large signing bonus modeled on Alphonso Davies’ package remains the main obstacle.
- External interest has shifted, with Defensa Central reporting Real Madrid has cooled, while Sky and English reports say Liverpool are monitoring and Merkur cites Aston Villa exploring a pre‑contract.
- Bayern are pressing for an agreement under Max Eberl while assessing alternatives such as Marc Guéhi and Nico Schlotterbeck, with Murillo also linked in recent reports.
