Overview

• Marca-reported lines relayed by OneFootball say Dayot Upamecano wants the move, has offered himself to Madrid, and is not expected to renew with Bayern as he enters the final months of his deal.
• OneFootball reports that Ibrahima Konaté remains Madrid’s leading target and could agree a pre-contract if he does not extend with Liverpool in the coming months.
• Football España, citing The Mirror via CaughtOffside, says Marc Guehi prefers Madrid over Liverpool and Barcelona, with the Crystal Palace defender set to be a free agent in 2026.
• Madrid are expected to sign only one external centre-back next summer because of internal options such as Dean Huijsen, Éder Militão, Raúl Asencio, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Joan Martínez.
• The pursuit follows reporting that Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are likely to depart at season’s end, prompting plans for a refresh at centre-back.
